A comprehensive guide to causes of blindness, information on diseases and treatments available.

A Dictionary of Hallucinations is designed to serve as a reference manual for neuroscientists, psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, psychologists, neurologists, historians of psychiatry, general practitioners, and academics dealing professionally with concepts of hallucinations and other sensory deceptions.

Originally published in 1989, much was known about blindness, but the field was divided into specialties. Experts in the different areas were widely dispersed among university departments, rehabilitation agencies, and school systems, with the result that people in one specialty area often knew little about developments in other areas. It was hoped that this work would be useful in reducing that isolation, by presenting, within a single volume, basic information derived from different approaches to the subject of blindness. Individuals already familiar with material in some of the chapters could gain added perspective on the field as a whole by reading about other aspects of blindness outside their specialty area.

This handbook is a condensed, portable, rapid-reference version of Fleisher and Ludwig's Textbook of Pediatric Emergency Medicine, Fourth Edition, one of the most widely respected books in the field. In a format designed for quick bedside consultation, the Synopsis presents the most essential clinical information from the Textbook's chapters on life-threatening emergencies, signs and symptoms, medical emergencies, trauma, surgical emergencies, and psychosocial emergencies. Each Synopsis chapter covers evaluation, differential diagnosis, physical examination, and management. The 66 signs and symptoms are in alphabetical order and medical emergencies, surgical emergencies, and trauma are organized by body system.
