''Dr. Kutscher, in this marvelous book, dispels many of the myths of epilepsy and provides a wonderful review of all aspects of the disorder. He effortlessly moves from diagnosis to treatment to prognosis. Employing humor, common sense, and an outstanding knowledge of epilepsy, Dr. Kutscher's book is truly a tour-de-force.... It is unlikely that readers will put down this book with unanswered questions.... For individuals involved with children with severe epilepsy, this book provides information that cannot be obtained elsewhere.'' - Gregory L.
