Description

by Leonid Skorin (ed.), Gary M. Cusick (ed.)

This book examines Charles Bonnet Syndrome and other visual hallucinations beyond the basic neuroscience concepts by providing the reader with a prevailing clinically applicable overview. It is a practical guide for those clinicians assessing patients who present with visual hallucinations and require additional evaluation to make a diagnosis and helps the clinician to formulate a clear management approach. In addition, there is a useful narrative section with multiple case analyses that assists clinicians, current patients, and their caregivers to understand how others have personally dealt with these problems and which treatment modality has worked best for them.
