Six cases are described in which hysterical seizures developed after incest and disappeared after psychotherapeutic exploration of the incestuous experience. Patients were adolescents referred for seizures, suicide attempts, sexual problems, and running away. It is suggested that Navajo and Galenic folk beliefs connecting epilepsy with incest may derive from observations of this symptom pattern in incest victims.
本文描述了6例在乱伦后出现癔症性癫痫发作，并在对乱伦经历进行心理治疗探索后症状消失的病例。患者均为青少年，因癫痫发作、自杀未遂、性问题和离家出走前来就诊。有人认为，纳瓦霍人和盖伦派的民间信仰将癫痫与乱伦联系起来，可能源于对乱伦受害者这种症状模式的观察。
