Früher wurde das Tourette-Syndrom (TS) als seltene Störung betrachtet; mittlerweile jedoch wurde erkannt, daß TS häufig in der Kindheit beginnt. Man weiß jetzt auch, daß die Anfälligkeit für TS über Generationen hinweg vererbt wird. Diagnose, Genetik, Phänomenologie, Geschichte und Behandlung von TS werden hier dargestellt, ausgehend von einem einmaligen Ansatz, der Beziehungen zwischen der Störung und dem normalen Entwicklungsweg herstellt.

Several chapters also address clinical work with adults with TS. User friendly and practical, the book includes three reproducible assessment tools.
