Epilepsy: A Global Approach

This comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to epilepsy compares and contrasts scientific knowledge, clinical experience and social consciousness between Western and non-Western cultures, enhancing transcultural understanding and providing a paradigm for an integrative, truly global health policy for this disorder. Topics covered include pharmacological and non-pharmacological management of epilepsy, care models and traditional medical systems, service organization in resource-limited countries, cultural perspectives on consequences of epilepsy, social, anthropological, economic, political and spiritual issues related to living with epilepsy, infectious and non-infectious causes and risk-factors, region-specific syndromes. Uniquely drawing attention to both a medical perspective and the burden of living with epilepsy, this is a must-have reference work for epileptologists, neurologists, epidemiologists, medical policymakers and health administrators in both the developed and developing world.
