A Review of: “CHILDHOOD EPILEPSY: LANGUAGE, LEARNING AND BEHAVIORAL COMPLICATIONS”

William B. Svoboda, MD, has received national grants for his work with institutionalized epilepsy patients. He was associate clinical professor of Pediatrics at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. Dr. Svoboda founded and was director of the Via Christi Epilepsy Center Program. He was appointed to the Federal Commission on Epilepsy and its Consequences. Dr. Svoboda is a former President of the Kansas branch of the Epilepsy Foundation of America. The purpose of this book is to educate and promote awareness of the many cognitive complications of childhood epilepsy and to promote a ‘whole child model.’ This model recognizes that the goal of epilepsy treatment is not just to control seizures but also to assist the person in reaching their whole potential in terms of communication, learning, socialization, earning, and enjoying. The book begins with an extensive glossary of terms with easily comprehended definitions. The book is divided into the three main complication types addressed: language, learning, and behavior. Each chapter is then divided into many subcategories and reads like a research article. The chapter organization allows for easy reading and comprehension. Each chapter is referenced with recognized and respected sources.
