Summary

Although published over 30 years ago, Motor Disorder in Psychiatry remains a thought-provoking consideration of motor disorder in the context of the psychiatric patients. Rogers hypothesises a common aetiology of motor disorder regardless of a predominating psychiatric or neurological presentation, arguing that the former demands further scrutiny within a neurological/neuropsychiatric framework.
