[Rorschach studies on the so-called epileptic character change].

Abstract

Structure, frequency, conditions and specificity of epileptic personality change have been estimated in very different ways. Psychological tests and statistical checks have been rare. The Rorschach-test claims to have the only tradition. 140 chronic epileptic patients without dementia were all investigated by psychiatrists and psychological tests. A specific epilepsy-syndrome could not be demonstrated, but nevertheless test-criteria of the organic psychosyndrome. They confirm and complete the psychological finding.
