The volume includes all major areas of Huntington disease clinical care and research whereas many other HD texts focus solely on neurological symptoms. This book also addresses behavioral and cognitive symptoms brain imaging and family dynamics a nd therapeutic alliances in working with individuals affected by HD. Clinical trials are covered extensively including design considerations for therapeutic studies. The devastating nature of Huntington's disease is well appreciated throughout the neuroscience neurology and psychiatric communities and a great amount of basic and clinical research is currently taking place. However much of that occurs in isolated research silos and it is critical that an interdisciplinary resource be developed to provide in depth information to enhance communication and collaboration. This volume in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series is that resource.
