During the 20th century, catatonia all but dropped off the agenda
of mainstream psychiatric research. However, several dedicated
research groups, represented in this volume, continued to report
original data highlighting catatonia as a relevant and ideal
subject for clinical study. This book, which exemplifies the
unparalleled breadth of the knowledge gained, will benefit
clinicians managing catatonic phenomena as well as researchers
interested in pursuing further investigations.
This book covers in great detail the psychopathology and
neurobiology of catatonia, focusing on the history, epidemiology,
etiology, diagnosis and treatment of the disorder. This
comprehensive volume Offers a wide representation of the historical
and worldwide literature on the many variants of catatonia in a
single, well-organized text. Includes work presented by the
original investigators, many of whom work outside the United States
and have had their previous studies published only in non-English
journals. Covers alternative opinions and perspectives on
catatonia, contributing novel and illuminating perspectives on the
syndrome. Addresses areas of controversy& mdash;including
disagreements over treatment and the nosologic status of
catatonia& mdash;head-on, in a balanced, evidence-based
presentation. Balances practical clinical material with the
underlying neurobiology, presenting clinical aspects in the context
of history, epidemiology, cross-cultural perspectives, and
neurobiological findings and highlighting the richness and
intellectual attraction of the study of the disorder.
"Catatonia" is unique in offering a diverse, international
group of contributors and such a comprehensive, up-to-datereview of
the clinical and scientific literature, spanning the breadth of
contemporary understanding about the nature, meaning, and
importance of the syndrome.
