Abstract
A generalized equation of motion for a charged point particle is obtained. Lorentz-Dirac and Bonnor equations are presented as particular cases of this theory. Within the procedure employed, it is showed that the mass renormalization is unique for any possible solution. Finally the validity of Dirac's method for an equation of motion is questioned.
