[This book] is comprehensive enough for experts and clear enough, with short relevant chapters, for generalists who want to know more about the subject. - Age and Ageing, 35:2, 2006

This is the major resource for information on an unfortunately common disease. Any clinician involved in the care of patients with dementia should buy and read this book. - Doodys Book Review Service

Product Description

Filling a noticeable gap in the market for a new text solely focused on Dementia with Lewy Bodies, this book discusses cutting-edge topics covering the condition from diagnosis to management, as well as what is known about the neurobiological changes involved.

With huge progress having been made over the last decade in terms of the disorder's recognition as a common cause of cognitive impairment, its clinical features, its underlying neurobiology, investigative changes, and management, this is undoubtedly a much-needed work in what is an important and rapidly progressing field.
