Extract

Various forms of treatment have been recommended for multiple tics, including psychotherapy (Zausmer, 1954), behaviour therapy (Yates, 1958) and phenothiazines and other tranquillizers (Lucas, 1964; Kelman, 1965), but there have been no reports of an adequate controlled trial of any particular therapy.
