Epilepsy and the Family: First Edition

By Richard Lechtenberg

Book Overview

Epilepsy and the Family is the first book written not just for people who suffer from epilepsy but for all those close to them. Not only does the author explain the biological basis for diagnosis and treatment, but he also reviews issues such as the developmental conflicts that may arise in children of an epileptic parent, the marital problems (including sexual dysfunction) that can evolve when one spouse has epilepsy, the psychosocial adjustments faced by the child with epilepsy, and the legal controversies surrounding epileptic states.
