A pilot project using group therapy with patients from an epilepsy clinic is described. Observations of the group show that members were able to discuss their feelings about having epilepsy, and the difficulties the disorder caused in all areas of their lives, and to tolerate and learn from seizures which took place during group meetings. The greatest benefit was meeting others with epilepsy and sharing experiences in an environment that was not overprotective or overanxious, in contrast to their usual surroundings. The author suggests that groups of a similar nature could be a useful addition to the management of people with epilepsy.
本文描述了一个针对癫痫诊所患者开展的团体治疗试点项目。对该团体的观察表明，成员们能够讨论他们对患有癫痫的感受，以及这种疾病在他们生活各个方面所造成的困难，并且能够忍受在团体会议期间发生的癫痫发作并从中学习。最大的益处在于与其他癫痫患者相聚，并在一个不像他们通常所处环境那样过度保护或过度焦虑的环境中分享经验。作者建议，类似性质的团体对于癫痫患者的管理可能是一个有益的补充。
