Tics and Their Treatment

by Henry Meige, E. (Eugène) Feindel

About the author

Born in 1862, Eugène Clément Louis Feindel was a French doctor whose published work focused on neurology and disorders of movement and behavior. Library and catalog records identify him as the author or co-author of medical writings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and place his death in 1930.

He is most closely associated with Tics and Their Treatment, written with the neurologist Henry Meige. That book became a notable contribution to the medical understanding of tics, blepharospasm, and related conditions, combining close observation with practical discussion of treatment.

Although detailed biographical information about his personal life is hard to confirm from readily available sources, Feindel's surviving publications show him as part of the French neurological world of his time. His reputation today rests mainly on that durable clinical work and its place in the history of neurology.
