Hodges' Frontotemporal Dementia
Second Edition
Clinical and scientific interest in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and related disorders is rapidly growing, as can be seen by increasing attendance at the International Meeting on FTD as well as the burgeoning literature. There remains an important need for a book broadly focused on clinical, pathologic, and scientific aspects of FTD. The Hodges book is the major textbook resource in the academic book literature on this topic. Major advances have occurred since its last publication. New clinical diagnostic criteria were published in 2011, new pathologic criteria have been developed, and several major genetic discoveries have been made. Thus, it is time for a new edition.
We aim to continue the outstanding tradition of this book, targeting an audience of specialist and generalist neurologists, psychiatrists, geriatricians, neuropsychologists, neuropathologists, and basic scientists in relevant fields. In addition to addressing cutting-edge topics of interest to faculty-level clinicians and scientists, the book contains material accessible enough for trainees in these fields.

To my wife, Dr. Allison Berger, and our daughters, Molly and Lilly, who teach me every day the importance of open communication and connection, and the joy of loving kindness and shared curiosity, all of which makes our lives so much more than they would be without each other .
Your loving husband and father
To all the individuals with illnesses who entrust their lives to me, their families and caregivers; I treasure our partnerships in the journeys we take as we try to make sense of living with these tragic diseases and do everything we can to fight back .
I dedicate this book to Dr. Leyla de Toledo-Morrell: pioneering neuroscientist, talented teacher, dedicated mentor, and loving friend and grandmother. Her passing in January 2015 left those of us lucky enough to know her with a deep hole in our lives .
