Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Determine differences between persons with repetitive behavior disorders and matched controls on measures of motor control relevant to basal ganglia pathophysiology

II Determine the efficacy of bromocriptine a dopamine agonist in the treatment of stereotyped behavior and related behavior disorders

III Determine the efficacy of sertraline hydrochloride a selective serotonin uptake inhibitor in the treatment of repetitive behavior disorders

IV Identify behavioral environmental and biological variables with differential drug treatment response
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE Motor slowness bradykinesia and motor control are tested in repetitive behavior disorder patients and matched controls Group differences reflecting alterations in basal ganglia dopamine function are compared

Behavioral assessments are conducted on each patient by trained observers Assessments are taken at baseline and during the maintenance phase of drug treatment described below

The efficacy of bromocriptine in the treatment of stereotypy and self-injury is determined in a randomized double blind placebo controlled crossover study extending over 20 weeks Cohorts of 6 to 8 patients first enter into a single blind placebo phase followed by double blind treatment with placebo or bromocriptine The crossover manipulation entails a titration phase a maintenance phase then a final single blind placebo condition

The same experimental design is used to determine the efficacy of sertraline or placebo in the treatment of stereotypy and concomitant self injury and compulsions Duration of study is 26 weeks
