Doody's Book Review Service , William J. Weiner, MD, University of Maryland School of Medicine -- "This is the fifth edition of a very well respected book in movement disorders. This edition continues the fine job of presenting an enormous amount of clinically relevant material in this important field in neurology. Chapters have been considerably updated and a new video atlas illustrates a wide range of movement disorders...This update is a worthwhile addition to neurology publications. It captures much of the tremendous recent progress in this field and the inclusion of the video atlas is a tremendous learning tool."-Doody's Book Review Service (Weighted Numerical Score: 92; 4 Stars)
