Previous investigations have failed to detect a relationship between the adequacy/inadequacy of neuropsychological functioning and psychopathology in persons with epilepsy. It is argued that these results were obtained because of the manner in which the measures of psychopathology, the MMPI, were analyzed. The MMPI data from two recent neuropsychological investigations of epilepsy were analyzed using a technique which has been found to be quite sensitive to various psychopathological categories, i.e., Goldberg's Rules. Comparison of subjects varying in degree of neuropsychological impairment revealed increased psychopathology in the patient groups with more widespread cognitive deficits. It is concluded that there is a relationship between deficits in neuropsychological functioning and psychopathology in epilepsy. This relationship is related to the larger literature of epilepsy and psychopathology.
以往的研究未能发现癫痫患者神经心理功能是否充分与精神病理学之间存在关联。有人认为，之所以得出这些结果，是因为对精神病理学测量工具明尼苏达多相人格调查表（MMPI）的分析方式。使用一种已被发现对各种精神病理学类别相当敏感的技术，即戈德堡规则，对最近两项癫痫神经心理学研究的MMPI数据进行了分析。对神经心理损害程度不同的受试者进行比较发现，认知缺陷更广泛的患者组中精神病理学现象有所增加。得出的结论是，癫痫患者的神经心理功能缺陷与精神病理学之间存在关联。这种关联与关于癫痫和精神病理学的大量文献相关。
