The purpose of this book, written by Dr. Lucy Yardley in 1994, is to analyze and explain some of the contributing factors of vertigo and offer possible avenues for recovery. Through her research, Dr. Yardley was able to identify psychosocial, environmental and behavioral components of vertigo that offered a more complex appraisal of the condition than strictly perceptual-motor explanations.

This book was translated into Spanish thanks to the sponsorship of Dr. David Jáuregui Camasca, Asesor Académico at the Universidad Ricardo Palma in Peru.
