Laterality in Relation to Psychiatry: An Introduction

  • Chapter
Current Themes in Psychiatry 1

  • 20 Accesses

Abstract

Bilateral asymmetry is relevant to both the theory and practice of psychiatry. Awareness of this has been growing rapidly in recent years, and a large volume of published work has accumulated. Much of this has derived from psychological and neuropsychological studies of normal subjects and neurological patients. The interest of investigators, however, has turned increasingly to psychiatric disorders and the advent and implications of unilateral ECT have brought the subject squarely within the province of the clinician.
