title: [Prevention of inappropriate bringing up of epileptic children by their families].
abstract: The author studied the cognitive and emotional aspect of parental attitudes towards the epileptic children using a modification of the Schaefer and Bell "PARI" questionnaire. Additional information was obtained during history taking from the mothers and from the analysis of case records. The studies were carried out on mothers of epileptic children and mothers of children without epielpsy and other chronic diseases. The obtained results indicate that there is a significant difference between the attitudes of mothers of epileptic children and those of healthy children in the aspect of "excessive distance" and "excessive concentration" in favour of the mothers of non-epileptic children. No significant difference was found in "normal emotional contact". In view of this pattern of parental attitudes directives are suggested for correction of errors made by mothers of epileptic children.
