To evaluate the psychosocial problems in adolescent patients with epilepsy, 17 teen-agers and their parents were studied using interviews, a questionnaire, and group interviews. The main findings were: the existence of important psycho social problems in 13 of the 17 teen-agers and their families, the parents' recognition of be havior problems in the young person as their most frequent difficulty, and the teenagers report ing of problems with peers as their biggest psychosocial concern. This study has highlighted the areas of help parents need with the young person's behavior problems, and the help the teen-ager needs with peer relationships.
