title: [Perceptive behavior of epileptic patients with a predominant lesion in the right or left hemisphere].
abstract: A total of 50 epileptic patients (27 patients with the left and 23 patients with the right lesion) were studied clinically, electrophysiologically and with the aid of Rorschach's method. The patients with the left lesion were more characterized by psychastheniclike features, motor inhibition with marked rigidity and emotive poverty, torpidity of affects, hypochondriasis, readiness for overvalued formations. When interpreting Rorschach's tables the authors observed few responses, refuses, uncertainty, many replies on animals and few colour replies. The following features were characteristic of the patients with the right lesion: hysteroform manifestations with labile emotionality, impulsiveness and suggestibility. When interpreting Rorschach's tables more replies are obtained, but with poor forms, more colour replies and more responses to insignificant details and interfigured space.
