Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. A small bump to the lower edge of the front board. Issued without a dust jacket. -- "Psychogenic Movement Disorders and Other Conversion Disorders" provides an authoritative and comprehensive examination of psychogenic movement disorders (PMDs) and conversion disorders, which are critical yet often misunderstood areas in clinical neurology and psychiatry. Edited by leading experts Mark Hallett, Jon Stone, and Anthony S. David, this volume in the Cambridge Medicine series offers invaluable insights into the diagnosis, management, and treatment of these complex conditions. The book opens with an in-depth overview of the historical context and evolving understanding of psychogenic and conversion disorders, setting the stage for a nuanced exploration of their etiology and pathophysiology. It delves into the diverse range of presentations, from tremors and dystonia to non-epileptic seizures and gait disorders, highlighting the clinical features that differentiate PMDs from organic movement disorders. Contributors to this volume include renowned clinicians and researchers who provide evidence-based approaches to diagnosis and treatment. The book covers various diagnostic tools, including clinical assessment techniques, neuroimaging, and electrophysiological studies, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. Treatment strategies discussed in the book encompass both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, such as psychotherapy, physiotherapy, and emerging neuromodulation techniques. Real-world case studies illustrate the application of these treatments, offering practical guidance for clinicians. In addition to clinical management, the book addresses the broader psychosocial aspects of psychogenic disorders, exploring the impact on patients' lives and the importance of addressing stigma and improving patient-clinician communication. "Psychogenic Movement Disorders and Other Conversion Disorders" is an essential resource for neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with these challenging disorders. Its thorough and compassionate approach ensures it will be a key reference for understanding and managing psychogenic and conversion disorders in clinical practice. Seller Inventory # 009761

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Conversion is very common but often misdiagnosed; even when diagnosed, treatment is difficult. It is critical for physicians to have the necessary knowledge to manage these patients in the most effective way. This volume gives all of the available, up-to-date information on when to think about conversion in movement disorders, how to make a diagnosis, how to use the laboratory to support a clinical diagnosis and how to develop a therapeutic plan. Written by experts in neurology, psychiatry, psychology, neuroimaging, neurophysiology and genetics, this book covers psychogenic movement disorders and other conversion disorders from all of the most relevant clinical angles. An accompanying CD-ROM with a video library featuring over 100 real-life examples of movement disorders will aid diagnosis. Neurologists and psychiatrists, as well as others interested in brain pathophysiology at the boundary of neurology and psychiatry, will find this a useful aid to both clinical practice and research. Psychogenic movement disorders are a common medical condition at the boundary of neurology and psychiatry; however, they are often overlooked and misdiagnosed. This book gives neurologists and psychiatrists up-to-date information about diagnosis, treatment and pathophysiology, providing a foundation for both clinical practice and research. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781107007345
