Neuropsychiatry Of Movement Disorders, Kevin J. Black, Jonathan W. Mink

Kevin J. Black, MD

Movement disorders include both psychiatric illnesses with neurologic features and neurologic illnesses with frequent psychiatric complications. During 1998, neuropsychiatric progress was made on several fronts, notably in parkinsonism and tic disorders. This remains an exciting area for research, with many unsolved, clinically important problems, but with increasing neurobiologic knowledge and sophistication.
