PSYCOLOGICA, I- 1.AT,


This subject has boon soon three times at thea Psycholo-ical Servico
Center.  On April 9, 1964, we had a long interview.wich hL  in which
ho explained the hictory of  aG soizures.  On Juno I1, 1954, he  -
rocoived the TAT and a Free Adoociation Test, ucins a list of words
that was copecially prepared for him. On  that date, he promisod
to como back to bring a list that he had made of all his soizures
since Septembor 1942 up to the present time, with an indication of
the eotional  problems that ho had on tho.days he was sick, This
list was brought, by him, to our office.on June 30, 1964.
