"Paroxysmal events from breath-holding spells and migraines to confusional arousals, tics, and conversion disorders are just some of the conditions reviewed, all in great detail. The author nicely categorizes the spells (e.g., sleep-related, movement disorders, headaches, syncope, factitious disorder), providing a framework to help readers better approach these problems. The tables are particularly helpful in distilling key points from the chapters.This is a very useful book to read and have on your bookshelfthis is a particularly thorough, concise, and accessible compendium for all pediatric practitioners."--Doody's
