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
“After reading the fascinating history of this disorder from Greek mythology to DSM-5, I was hooked. Many medical books are dry. This one is not! You will understand patients you have treated much better and be well prepared for those that may come your way in the future. Although patients with catatonia are generally mute, this book will serve as their voice. Our patients want us to have the most up to date information on screening, assessment, and treatment. This book delivers just that and it reads very well. If I were ever to have catatonia, I would pray that my doctors will have read this gem.” – Kathleen Franco, MD, Professor of Medicine & Psychiatry, Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, Ohio

“Because catatonia occurs in various settings and—contrary to some beliefs, is not rare—it could present a diagnostic and management problem for those not familiar with this syndrome/disorder. Consultation liaison psychiatrists could be called to evaluate patients with catatonia in a medical or surgical setting, in the emergency room, nursing homes, or even at child and adolescent clinics. Brendan Carroll and David Spiegel, the editors of this small volume, gathered a group of clinicians to put together a comprehensive and useful text on catatonia. As they write, this book is not supposed to be another perfunctory review of catatonia; it also intends to bring forth some new ideas about this entity and its conceptualization…To read more, click here.” – Richard Balon, MD, Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, USA, published in Annals of Clinical Psychiatry, November 2015, Vol. 27, No. 4
