Notes:
Summary A case of idiopathic epilepsy has been presented from the point of view of the Adlerian or inferiority school. The patient's personality goal (method of warding off inferiority feelings) was isolated. The patient's emotional history was presented in sufficient detail to indicate that reality defeated the goal, that the patient fled into his psychosis to create an imaginary world in which the goal was realized. Evidence was presented to show the inferiority motivation of epileptic auras, seizures, equivalents, postconvulsvie confusion and interparoxysmal personality. Mention was made of fundamental dynamic and descriptive similarities between idiopathic epilepsy and dementia pr⇂ox.
