Treatment of Functional Neurological Disorder: A Case-Based Approach

Functional neurological disorder (FND) poses unique challenges for clinicians, requiring care that crosses traditional boundaries between neurology, psychiatry, psychology, and rehabilitation. Diagnosis and treatment have become standardized in recent years, but clinicians still lack clear, practical guidance on caring for their patients with FND. Treatment of Functional Neurological Disorder: A Case-Based Approach brings together nearly all major evidence-based treatment modalities for FND in one accessible, clinically grounded resource. Emphasizing real-world application rather than theory alone, the book provides specific guidance that clinicians can readily apply in practice. Drawing on the expertise of leading international authorities, the volume addresses assessment and diagnostic communication, psychiatric and medical comorbidities, psychotherapeutic and rehabilitation interventions, medication and neuromodulation strategies, telehealth adaptations, pediatric care, and higher levels of treatment. It also offers practical insight into building interdisciplinary programs and care pathways across diverse health care systems. With a strong emphasis on clinical cases and interdisciplinary collaboration, Treatment of Functional Neurological Disorder equips clinicians across specialties to deliver cohesive, effective, and patient-centered care for individuals living with FND.
