When this title was first published in 1971, there were about 300,
000 people with epilepsy in England and Wales. Nearly one-third of
them were children. This book is an integrated review of how
epileptic children behaved, and of how they were regarded by
parents, teachers and peers at the time. Written by a sociologist
with a training in psychology, human biology and education, the
book draws on several disciplines - sociology, psychology, biology
- in seeking to understand the complex determinants of deviant
behaviour in children with epilepsy. The author considers in detail
the lives of 118 epileptic children, bringing together and
analysing a wide range of measurements of behaviour, social
relations and abnormalities of brain function. He discusses how the
children fare in school, and how epilepsy affects both the
teacher's perception of the child and the child's scholastic
performance. The dearth of medical centres which could diagnose and
treat epilepsy at the time is examined, and hospital use according
to parents' social class is analysed. The author looks at the role
of parents of epileptic children and shows that their attitude to
epilepsy is of major importance for the child's adjustment. The
prejudice to which epileptic children and adolescents were
subjected by the world at large is chronicled in detail. Finally
the author considers how his empirical material makes a
contribution to the theoretical problem of integrating sociology,
psychology and biology into a single discipline concerned with the
explanation of human social behaviour.
