There has been a significant burgeoning of knowledge in this area over the last 20 years in the context of understanding underlying mechanisms, assessment and treatment of this important class of impairments. The critical need to differentiate functional neurolog- ical disorders which are often disabling from other types of impairments given differences in underlying mechanisms, prognosis and clinical treatment cannot be overstated. Although there has been a significant increase in literature and evidence-based medicine examining functional neurological disorders, there are few published texts on any aspect of this con- dition, nevermind specific aspects such as in the text being reviewed here on functional movement disor- ders (FMDs). The editors of this volume published through Current Clinical Neurology are all well-known con- tributors to the literature in the area of FNDs and have assembled a diverse list of contributors and topics addressing this fascinating area of neurology and neu- rorehabilitation. The first 4 chapters of the book make up part 1 which is entitled “framework” and provides important perspectives on historical aspects of the disorder nicely presented by Dr. Kanaan. The next chapter by Dr. Hallet provides a very nice review of anatomy and FND pathophysiology in the context of a number of hypotheses regarding drivers for FNDs, which makes for interesting reading and suggests the underpinnings of FMD lay in a multi-network brain disorder. The next chapter by MacGillivray and Lid- stone takes an interesting look at biopsychosocial aspects of FMD, and this is followed by a chapter delving into the integration of psychiatric and neu- rological perspectives of the disorder (authored by Anderson, Perez and Price). The second part of the book deals with specific functional motor presentations as well as their occur- rence in children and older adults. Many of the well-known functional motor disorders are discussed including limb weakness, dystonia, gait disorders, ISSN 1053-8135/$35.00 © 2023 – IOS Press. All rights reserved.
