Gillette Press Announces the Release of Epilepsy Book

Finally! A book that truly helps families understand epilepsy. I wish I had this book at the beginning of my journey. It’s a must-read for any family navigating life with epilepsy.” Colleen Peterson, Parent

St. Paul, MN  –Gillette Children’s Healthcare Press and Mac Keith Press are thrilled to announce the launch of Epilepsy, the sixth book in the Gillette Children’s Healthcare Series, a groundbreaking collection of nine books on childhood-acquired physical and neurological conditions. Each book provides a detailed medical explanation of a specific condition, its evidence-based best-practice treatments, and includes the lived experience of families.

The goal of the series is to empower families through a greater understanding of their condition and therefore help optimize outcomes for children, adolescents and adults living with these childhood-acquired and largely lifelong conditions. Healthcare professionals, researchers, educators, students, and others will also benefit from reading books in this series.

Epilepsy is a condition that can occur at any age. It is often characterized by recurrent, unprovoked seizures. For some individuals, epilepsy will be a lifelong condition, while for others it may be a condition they outgrow.  

This practical guide explains not only the complexities of epilepsy but also details the evidence-based, best-practice treatments that help manage the condition. It also includes the lived experience of families.  

The writing of Epilepsy was led by Gillette Children’s pediatric neurologist, Charbel El Kosseifi, MD.

Availability 
The book is now available for purchase through Mac Keith Press and all leading book retailers, at a price of £45.00/$55.00 (paperback) and £10.00/$12.00 eBook.  

Other titles in the series that are already available to purchase include: Craniosynostosis, Idiopathic Scoliosis, Spastic Hemiplegia – Unilateral Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Quadriplegia – Bilateral Cerebral Palsy and Spastic Diplegia – Bilateral Cerebral Palsy, second edition.

The remaining three titles in the series are scheduled for release in 2025/2026 and will cover Spina Bifida, Osteogenesis Imperfecta, and Scoliosis (non-idiopathic).

All proceeds from the books in this series at Gillette Children’s go to research.
