The differentiation of the dystonia between a neurological and a psychiatric disease turned a lot. Sometimes was proposed, further, the exclusion of the dystonia as a different phenomenon among the movement disorders. The hypothesis of emotional etiology of the dystonias increase in the decade of 1960 and the conclusion of the etiology of dystonia only happened in the decades of 1970 and 1980 with a series of works of Charles David Marsden.
