Reviews
“Dr. Carroll and Dr. Spiegel are to be congratulated for editing this authoritative book on catatonia. While this mysterious syndrome was identified in 1874, it continues to baffle psychiatrists unfamiliar with its symptoms, etiology, and treatment. The book was written specifically for C-L psychiatrists, who probably see the majority of cases. Not only does the book discuss its history and nosology (recently changed in DSM-5), but fully describes its assessment. Algorithms are provided that provide a carefully stepped approach to treatment. Because the syndrome is uncommon (though individual symptoms are not), and patients are often unresponsive, it is unlikely that controlled trials can ever be performed. With that in mind, the book provides the best observational data available to help guide treatment planning. Hats off to Dr. Carrol and Dr. Spiegel.” – Donald W. Black, MD, Professor, Residency Training Director, Vice Chair for Education, Department of Psychiatry, University of Iowa Roy J. and Lucille A. Carver College of Medicine, IA.
