Multimodular psychotherapy intervention for nonepileptic attack disorder: an individualized pragmatic approach

Nonepileptic attack disorder (NEAD) is a highly distressing and costly condition commonly seen in specialist epilepsy clinics. Consistently effective treatments for NEAD remain elusive, and findings from research indicate that there is no one form of psychological therapy that will be effective in such a heterogeneous group of patients. In this paper, we propose a multimodular approach to psychological therapy in NEAD, which allows the clinician to tailor an individualized management program for the patient appropriate to his/her needs.
