The International League Against Epilepsy established a commission on psychobiology in 1997 to investigate the interface between epilepsy and behavior disorders from a biological and social perspective. One of the outcomes has been this collection of studies on a spectrum of clinical topics. They bypass some of the well researched and established areas in order to focus on some that have received less attention, such as learning disability, cognitive decline, dissociative attacks, and vagus nerve stimulation.

Michael Trimble and Bettina Schmitz have assembled an international team of experts to review the most recent findings and explore the interface between epilepsy and behavior disorders. The authors discuss the classifications available and examine how adequate they are for defining the subtleties of behavioral changes in patients with neurological disorders. Coverage is broad-ranging, from related cognitive problems, biological underpinnings, and pseudoseizures, to clinical aspects and treatment issues. This timely book covers the practical implications of ongoing research, and offers both a diagnostic and management perspective.

This book reviews and explores the interface between epilepsy and behaviour disorders, giving both diagnostic and management perspectives.

Recenzijas

' this book serves to show the huge possibilities for research in this fascinating area of neurology, with implications for our understanding of epilepsy and other affective disorders and better treatment of patients in the future.' The Lancet ' the book is highly informative on a variety of areas In my office, I have three shelves above my desk. the lowest shelf contains books that I access regularly when a clinical question arises. This book will sit on that shelf.' British Journal of Psychiatry 'Extremely well written and edited, the production of the book is well above average. Congratulations to the editors and the authors for providing a state of the art picture of a complex topic like epilepsy. This book should be on the bookshelf of every clinician whether they deal directly with epilepsy or not.' International Journal of Psychiatry 'This book gives up-to-date reviews with extensive references for further insight and to new developments in classification, basic and clinical research. It illustrates the broad scope of modern neuropsychiatry and the close connection between psychiatry and neurology. This book is certainly warranted.' Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica ' nicely produced, extensively indexed, and usefully referenced.' Child and Adolescent Mental Health 'The book is important in that it gives the background facts about several aspects of neuropsychiatric problems in epilepsy the book can be recommended to all those treating children and adolescents with epilepsy.' European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Professor Trimble has been at the forefront of the developing field of neuropsychiatry for over 20 years. His special interest is in seizure disorders and he runs a research unit devoted to neuropsychiatry and behavioural neurology. Dob 20.5.46. Bettina Schmitz is Senior Registrar and Head of the Epilepsy Research Group in the Department of Neurology at the Charité, Virchow-Klinikum, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany. She qualified in medicine from the Free University in Berlin in 1986, and worked as a research fellow at the Institute of Neurology in Queen Square, London, before returning to Berlin in 1992 to take up a post as registrar in the Department of Psychiatry at the Free University. She qualified in psychiatry, psychotherapy and neurology. She completed her MD in 1989, her PhD in 1997. Dr Schmitz' research has focused on epilepsy. In 1991, while in London, she carried out grant aided research on the neuropsychiatric differentiation of frontal epilepsies. Dr Schmitz has written a number of papers and books on epilepsy, and regularly presents at national and international conferences on the subject. DOB 12.05.1960
