This book functions as a practical manual for clinical practitioners taking an interdisciplinary approach to current diagnosis and management of functional movement disorder (FMD). It discusses case vignettes, reviews the diagnostic approach, provides an updated approach to treatment, highlights clinical pearls and details references for further reading.
Organized into three parts, the book begins with a framework for the understanding of FMD including its historical context, the biopsychosocial model and an integrated neurologic-psychiatric perspective towards overcoming brain-body dualism. Part II then provides a comprehensive overview of different FMD phenomenologies including tremor, dystonia, gait disorders, limb weakness, as well as common non-motor issues such as functional cognitive symptoms. The book concludes with chapters on updated practices in delivering diagnoses, motivational communication with patients and care partners, as well as an overview of evidence-based and evolving treatment concepts.
Supplemented with high-quality patient videos,
Functional Movement Disorder is written for practicing neurologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and rehabilitation experts with an interest in learning more about diagnosis and management of FMD.
