This is the first comprehensive guide devoted exclusively to the
widely encountered class of behaviors that consist of repetitive,
habitual, and apparently purposeless actions. The authors, leading
experts in the field, bring to light the latest information on
these stereotyped behaviors and examine their occurrence in
psychiatric and neurological patients, as well as in response to
stress, drug use, environmental factors, and other causes. The
volume includes an historical perspective, information on the role
of brain dopamine, the neuropsychological significance of effects
of stimulant drugs, and the contribution of dopamine receptor
subtypes. Yawning and grooming responses are considered, and are
discussed in relation to coping with stress. 5-Hydroxytryptamine
and stereotyped behavior is reviewed, and the stereotypy induced by
drugs or by brain damage is given full analysis. Environmental
factors are discussed and two full chapters are devoted to
stereotyped responses and performance encountered in psychiatric
and neurological patients.
