ABSTRACT
For over two decades, the Tourette SyndromeAssociation (TSA) has not only worked to improve the lives of people with Tourette’s syndrome (TS), but has carefully nurtured a productive working partnership with both the physicians who treat people with TS and the scientists engaged in TS research. Close cooperation among professional health organizations established and directed by patient families not only can make a significant contribution to the well being of patients and their families, but at the same time provide valuable assistance to clinicians and researchers dedicated to helping those patients.
