The award-winning Seizures and Epilepsy in Childhood has already become the standard resource for parents in need of comprehensive medical information about their child with epilepsy. Now this highly praised book has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy in childhood, including the use of the ketogenic diet as a treatment for children who either do not respond to traditional drug therapy or who suffer intolerable side effects from medications.
In addition to providing up-to-date information about new diagnostic techniques, as well as drugs, diet, and surgical treatments, the authors have included a new chapter addressing the special needs of children with epilepsy regarding routine health care. And as they did in the book's first edition, the authors encourage children with epilepsy to actively participate in school activities and sports, and stress the importance of helping children with seizures and epilepsy to live as normal a life as possible.
Praise for the first edition, winner of the 1991 Epilepsy Foundation of America's National Book Award
"I have wanted a book like this for a long time. To my knowledge, this is the first book combining complete scientific accuracy with a caregiver's compassion and understanding."--James A. Autry, former chairman of the board, Epilepsy Foundation of America
"Optimistic in tone and broad in scope, this is a book for the parent who has a lot of detailed questions."--National Spokesman
"The book is rich in substance and detail. There is a warm, compassionate tone. At the same time, there are no-nonsense facts and figures."--Humane Medicine

Review
"Optimistic in tone and broad in scope, this is a book for the parent who has a lot of detailed questions, who wants to know exactly why, who wants to be able to communicate on a more equal level with health professionals, who wants to know what professional terms mean, what the treatment entails, and why things are happening as they are." -- National Spokesman
