title: Psychological factors in susceptibility to drug-induced extrapyramidal symptoms.
abstract: In an effort to identify nonneurobiologic factors in the susceptibility to neuroleptic-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), the EPS response in 20 patients was correlated with field dependence, self-object differentiation, and premorbid social competence. Only the last proved to be a good predictor, which suggests that psychosocial factors play a role in a patient's EPS response.
