Parkinson's Reviews

'In my opinion this book strikes a perfect balance between information and sympathy, without being too technical or too maudlin. I feel sure that this book will become a vade mecum for anyone associated with Parkinson's, whether it be the patient, carer, GP or therapist. I feel sure that it will fill a very much needed gap in the market for educating and reassuring all those who are involved in any way with Parkinson's.' Dr Lloyd A. Frost, Leeds
