To examine the relationship between psychosocial functioning and psychopathology in epilepsy, a total 37-outpatient sample was assessed by means of both the Washington Psychosocial Seizure Inventory (WPSI) and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Patients came from an epilepsy program of the Hospital psiquiátrico, Chile. Disorders in several areas pertaining to psychosocial functioning and psychopathology were observed: Their distribution was quite similar to disorders previously reported when using both instruments. The WPSI scales showed a positive correlation with the MMPI's--a relevant correlation as far as the Overall Psychosocial Functioning, and Emotional adjustment sub-scales are concerned. The relationship between psychopathology and psychosocial functioning in epilepsy is discussed as well as the usefulness of the WPSI as a screening-test for the psychosocial assessment of epileptic subjects.
为研究癫痫患者心理社会功能与精神病理学之间的关系，采用华盛顿心理社会癫痫量表（WPSI）和明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）对总共37名门诊患者样本进行了评估。患者来自智利精神病医院的癫痫治疗项目。观察到了心理社会功能和精神病理学几个方面的障碍：其分布与之前使用这两种工具时报告的障碍非常相似。WPSI量表与MMPI量表呈正相关——就总体心理社会功能和情绪调整子量表而言，这是一种显著的相关性。本文讨论了癫痫患者精神病理学与心理社会功能之间的关系，以及WPSI作为癫痫患者心理社会评估筛查测试的效用。
