Epilepsy in Resource Limited Settings

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Given publications on epilepsy are rare in the social work literature, this book Epilepsy in Resource Limited Settings, is a welcome resource for social workers and other human service and health workers working with people with epilepsy. It provides valuable information for those working in diverse contexts, though especially for those struggling with minimal services in resource-limited settings. Additionally, it provides multiple examples for practitioners and policymakers."
