N2 - Idiopathic spasmodic torticollis (ST) is one of the most frequent dystonic movement disorders. Its classification as a focal dystonia as well as its treatment with botulinum toxin has led to larger groups of patients being seen regularly by neurological specialists. In a multicentre study we investigated psychosocial changes, coping and psychopathology and their interrelations with signs, symptoms and course. The study is reported in a series of four papers. Section I gives an introduction to psychiatric research on ST, the goals of the study and the method.
