Dworetzky, MDReviewsPsychogenic nonepileptic seizures are the most common subtype of functional neurologic disorder and it is important for the medical community to know how to help these patients. Unfortunately, functional neurologic disorders have fallen into a black hole between neurologists and psychiatrists, and it has been difficult to find appropriate care. This excellent book points a way forward. Not only does it summarize the current literature on diagnosis, pathophysiology, and therapy, but it emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach. The book gives guidance for how neurologists, psychiatrists and other healthcare professionals can work together. Mark Hallett, MD, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD Drs. Dworetzky and Blaset, together with their team of experts, have provided a concise and thorough review of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. This book provides insight on diagnosis, mechanisms, and therapy and is a must read for all neurologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists involved in this underserved, large population.
