Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of tics, those involuntary movements that often perplex both patients and doctors. The author explores the history of how tics have been understood, tracing the evolution of thinking from simple notions of clonic spasms to the more complex, psychological underpinnings of the condition. Through a detailed case study, the author examines the diverse range of tics, their origins, and the intricate interplay between physical manifestations and the inner workings of the mind. The book reveals how seemingly insignificant tics can emerge from complex psychological motivations, often driven by habit, an insatiable desire for sensation, or a fear of silence. The author further demonstrates how the very act of trying to control tics can inadvertently lead to the development of new and often bizarre behaviors, highlighting the circular nature of the condition. This captivating examination offers a groundbreaking perspective on tics, revealing their often overlooked mental dimensions and the profound impact they can have on an individual's life.
