PSCHOUCCT,  I. t-.17T.TO-1(


  . This subject has bean coon three times at the Psycholoical  Servico
.   Center.  On April 9, 1964, we had a long interview with hLi in which
    ho explained the history of his seiZures.  On Juno 11, 1994, he
    raceivod the TAT and a Freo Association Test, ucin3 a list of words
    that was especially prepared for him.  Cn that date, he promised
    to coma back to bring a List that he had made of all his seizures
    since Septcimber 199'2 up to the present time, with an indication of
    the emotional problems that he had on the days he was sick,  This
    liat wae brou&ht, by him, to our office on Juno 30, 1964,


Benson for Connultntio

To try to determine if there woro any psychological factors influ-
encing this subject's opiloptic aoizuros,


rpesiulto of Psycholo-ial Javsti.ation

In a case such as this, it is obvious that or;anic factors are the
main doterminant of the pationtla discoe, but from the interview
and the tests, we received the impression that the patient's nmotion-
al state has often played a certain role in triogering his epileptic
seizures,  Paychothorapoutic treatment that vould enable this pa-
tient to gain better control of his emotions would obviously be high-
ly beneficial for him,


I ntattence

This  subject was not formally tested in order to determine his I.Q.,
but  from his conversation and from his responses to the personality
testc,  it is quito clear that he is a man endvcd  with a cuperior
intolligenco,  although soma impairmont has neczarily   resulted be-
cause  of his frequent opiloptic seizuros, and, recently, because of
his  brain surgery.  Ho was not  osted for inteli-ence  becauso it was
-not feasiblo to do so since his operation had been done just a few
weeks  ago and the possibility of some transient offects of the sur-
gical  procedure mLght atill influence any results.  Howaver, from a
strictly  clinical viewpoint, when comparing the cubject's reaction
before  and after the oporation, the amount of impairment produced
by  the operation does not seem to be really considorablo, and$ on the
other  hand, there is a romarkable decrease in his anxiety.
