[Pathological stereotypes in epilepsy]
Abstract:
The paper is concerned with an analysis of the origin and development of pathological stereotypes in patients with epilepsy. Different kinds of those stereotypes which are encountered most frequently among epileptics are described. Examples illustrating the origin of the pathological system of conditioned reflex relations in epileptics of varying age are considered. Emphasis is laid on the importance of preventing pathological stereotypes interfering with the treatment of patients suffering from epilepsy. It is shown that changes in those stereotypes require long, sometimes of many years, educational correction and psychotherapeutic work.
