Description and Table of Contents

Description

Offering coverage of movement disorders, this book is directed at the practicing neurologist and psychiatrist. The contributors provide theoretical understanding and practical clinical guidance in their broad but detailed coverage. In the field of movement disorders it is often unclear where neurology ends and psychiatry begins. This spectrum of disorders is now recognized as primarily organic rather than psychogenic, while at the same time mental influences can clearly produce brain-mediated changes in the body. The book integrates basic science with clinical information and aims to provide the practising clinician with all of the information required for the successful management of movement disorders.
