"This outstanding and comprehensive new book covers the rapidly growing use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as well as superficial brain stimulation (SBS) for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders…This is a first-rate book covering the emerging treatment technology of DBS and SBS. Any clinician who wants to keep abreast of these important treatment modalities should read this book. I highly recommend it." Rating: 3 Stars --Doody.com, March 21, 2014
