Synopsis

Understanding tics and how they affect movement, thought, and daily life.

This clinical guide explains the types, causes, and practical treatment approaches for tic disorders, helping readers grasp how these movements develop and how they can be managed.

From core concepts to real‑world observations, the book frames tics as a group of movement phenomena that can interact with daily tasks like writing or speaking. It presents historical and clinical perspectives to help readers distinguish tics from similar conditions and to understand how psychological and physiological factors may influence their expression.

Readers will gain a clear, down‑to‑earth view of what tic disorders look like in practice, including how tics can appear in different parts of the body and under various circumstances. The text uses case observations to illustrate how tics may evolve and respond to different treatment ideas, without overpromising results.

  • Defines types of tics and how they present in movement and behavior.
  • Explains how tics can interact with daily activities such as writing and other tasks.
  • Distinguishes tic disorders from similar conditions and outlines practical approaches to care.
  • Offers clinical observations and historical context to ground understanding.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Tics and Their Treatment

Yet till within recent years tic had all but dis appeared from the catalogue of diseases. A closer study of reflex acts, however, has led to the grouping together of various clonic convulsions of face or limbs, including spasms on the one hand, and, on the other, conditions of an entirely different nature, for which the term tics ought to be reserved. The separation of tics from spasms, properly so called, has been the object of various experiments and observations made by the authors and by myself, the practical value of which is evidenced by their dis closure of efficacious therapeutic measures.
