Stephen G. Reich

The Guest Editor of this issue of Seminars in Neurology on Psychogenic Disorders is Dr. Stephen Reich, who is Professor of Neurology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Dr. Reich did his undergraduate work at Tulane University, obtaining a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics. He then attended the Tulane University School of Medicine. He did his Neurology Residency under Dr. Robert Daroff at Case Western Reserve, followed by a Movement Disorders Fellowship at the Johns Hopkins Hospital with Dr. Mahlon DeLong as his mentor.

Although Dr. Reich would identify his area of expertise as movement disorders, those of us who have had the privilege of hearing him lecture would identify his areas of expertise as both teaching and movement disorders. He has received several teaching awards, the most recent of which was the Golden Hammer. This was awarded to him by his Neurology Residents. He was also elected as the Grand Marshall at the graduation ceremony in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine by the class of 1996. He is a favorite speaker at the American Academy of Neurology and has been the Course Director and Faculty for many courses at the American Academy of Neurology. He maintains a video catalog of patients with movement disorders that is an extraordinary teaching tool. He has published extensively on Parkinson's disease and other disorders of movement, including tremor, restless leg syndrome, and gait disorders. He is the editor of a new book entitled Movement Disorders: 100 Instructive Cases, which will be published by Taylor and Francis.

Dr. Reich is married to Dr. Dana Boatman who is Associate Professor of Neurology and Otolaryngology at Johns Hopkins. They have a 4-year-old son, Daniel. Together they share a love for neurology, a love for each other, and a love for Daniel.

We are so very grateful to Dr. Reich and to all of the contributors of this issue of Seminars in Neurology. These are some of the most difficult patients to care for and we greatly value the insight and expertise of the contributors to this issue.
