Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Written in an informal, easy-to-understand style, this book serves the dual purpose of educating the general public about the nature of epilepsy and of helping the epilepsy sufferer and family members cope with the disorder. After explaining the various types of epilepsy, the author, relying on personal experience, describes those methods that helped her to become seizure-free: positive thinking, self-esteem, biofeedback, yoga, proper nutrition, stress management, exercise, and adequate rest. Her advice, while encouraging, should not raise false hopes that every epileptic can completely overcome seizures. The book contains very useful appendixes: a list of support groups, a glossary, telephone nunbers of national associations. For consumer health collections. Carol R. Glatt, Helene Fuld Medical Ctr. Lib., Trenton, N.J.
