520    This book presents scientific evidence about epilepsy 
       along with straightforward guidance and recommendations. 
       Responses to frequently asked questions and clarification 
       of uncertainties are provided to empower patients to 
       optimize their medical, psychological and social care. 
       This book helps mediate between patients and health care 
       professionals and can assist both sides to understand the 
       condition of epilepsy at all levels. The information 
       provided in the book empowers patients to share decision 
       making with their carers and clinicians and enables them 
       to make informed decisions, by taking into account the 
       best scientific evidence, as well as the patients' values 
       and preferences. The Epilepsy Book: A Companion for 
       Patients  is ideal for patients with epilepsy and their 
       carers, and will also be of interest to health care 
       professionals, medical students and teachers. Thalia 
       Valeta's approach to epilepsy facilitates deeper 
       understanding of the unmet needs and expectations of 
       patients.
