Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Elliot J Roth, MD (Shirley Ryan AbilityLab)
Description: This unique book describes the impact of common neurological conditions on the daily lives of people who experience them, focusing especially on changes in behavior.
Purpose: The purpose is to enhance the understanding on the part of the professionals who care for people with neurological conditions of the impact that their disabilities have on the behaviors and their lives more generally.
Audience: The book will be particularly useful for trainees in rehabilitation professions and for junior clinicians who are launching careers in rehabilitation specialties. Therapists, nurses, psychologists, and physicians might benefit from the perspectives this book provides. The editors and the authors are credible clinician-scholars.
Features: The first two chapters are introductory in nature, describing the neuroanatomical bases for behavior and changes in the aging brain. Each subsequent chapter provides a description of the impact on daily life of specific conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, cancer, and others. The final two chapters are valuable, providing insights into public policy implications and consumer perspectives.
Assessment: This can be considered supplementary and complementary to books covering clinical presentations of neurological conditions. It likely has some overlap with other books on the topic of neurological diagnoses, but this one stands out in its emphasis on the direct behavioral impact of the conditions on patients and their daily lives.
