Description
Repetitive, habitual, apparently purposeless behaviour remains an enigma. It may be provoked by drugs, or be environmentally determined, and occur in times of stress. This is the first comprehensive volume devoted to these little-understood phenomena. The authors are all leading investigators in the field, and together throw much new light on forms of behaviour which at first encounter can seem inexplicable and bizarre.
