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.…
