GROUP THERAPY FOR EPILEPTICS
Abstract
From The above study the following conclusions are drawn:
1. That patients show improvement under group therapy as readily as with individual therapy.
2. That certain Latin-American patients respond to group therapy more readily than to individual therapy.
3. That pre-existing personality configuration plays an important part in the patient's success in therapy.
[see Table 4 in source PDF]
4. That careful selection of patients for therapy through established psychological criteria facilitates treatment.
5. That certain patients, who do not show improvement with individual therapy, show improvement under group therapy.
6. That those who do not show improvement in group therapy do not show any with individual therapy.
7. That community education is imperative.
8. That it is important to have patients whose epileptic State has been approximately of the same duration.
9. That the chronological age per se is not important.
10. That group therapy for epileptics must be thought of in terms of a long-range program.
11. That the improvements shown do not depend necessarily on the control of the epileptic attacks.
