[The importance of psychological research in the system of rehabilitating epileptics].

The authors consider the results of the psychological analysis of individual characteristics of intellectual and mnemonic activity, of emotional response, behaviour and the system of relations determined with the help of 10 experimental psychological techniques in 239 epileptic patients with a variable clinical picture of the disease in the process of their rehabilitation. The data obtained by the psychologist are correlated with the assessment of mental disorders by both the patient himself and the doctor. A conclusion is made that the psychological diagnosis is more accurate and its results may be used as an important criterion in the process of rehabilitation of epileptic patients.
