title: Non-epileptic attack disorders in children and adolescents: a single case study.
abstract: Previous research into non-epileptic attack disorder (NEAD) has focused on the individual. We report a teenager with non-epileptic seizures which highlights the importance of the family in the development and maintenance of such attacks. The authors propose that in children and adolescents the focus of therapeutic intervention should be the individual within the context of the family.
