Critics Review
The contributors are frank about the changes patients may expect and provide common-sense advice about meeting the cognitive challenges, which range far wider than one would expect…The text is fully accessible to patients already involved with the management of their condition.–Book News

With caring, warmth, and even subtle humor, the authors have made a difficult subject approachable and understandable.Ç
