The book examines this important group of drugs in detail, looking objectively at their pharmacological properties, activity, cognitive and behavioral effects, use in sleep disorders, anxiety, adult and childhood epilepsy, movement disorders, and at the prospects for future research and development. The case is made for their continued use with proper diagnosis and careful management in certain conditions for which other drugs do not offer the same value.
