DuVoisin and Sage's book has been available for many years, and undergone several revisions to keep information up-to-date. It has never lost the clarity and compassionate understanding that has been its virtue from the very beginning. The senior author, Dr. Duvoisin, participated in the discovery of Sinemet as a therapeutic agent for PD, as thus can rightly claim to be "present at the birth" of modern medical treatment of PD. The book has many useful tips for coping with everyday problems, and has numerous references to other sources for help and information. These run from organizations to local support groups, and reliable Internet sites. The family's role in management is dealt with ably, and gives them a better understanding og what to expect, and how they can help. I give new PD patients a copy of this book at the initial office visit, and ask them to read it prior to the next visit. They always return with a well thumbed book in hand, much better able to discuss their condition and participate in its management. Through Ebay, I have been able to obtain copies at reasonable cost. In book stores, including B/N, the price is astronomical. If your doctor can not get you a copy, go through the local support group. They often can locate affordable copies.Read full review
