Abstract

Zusammenfassung

Die Beziehung zwischen Epilepsie, epileptischen Psychosen und Schizophrenie hat seit dem 19. Jahrhundert Psychiater und Neurologen gleichermaßen fasziniert. Während sich die deutschsprachige Psychiatrie noch bis in die 70er Jahre mit dieser Thematik beschäftigte, finden sich in den letzten Jahren kaum noch Arbeiten hierzu in der Literatur. Im angelsächsischen Raum wurde hingegen intensive Forschung sowohl zu den epileptischen Psychosen als auch zur Beziehung zwischen insbesondere Temporallappenepilepsien und schizophrenen Psychosen betrieben. Die epileptischen Psychosen werden von den gängigen psychiatrischen Klassifikationssystemen nur unzureichend erfasst. Die vorliegende Arbeit will einen Überblick über die epileptischen Psychosen, ihre Klassifikation und über den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zur Beziehung zwischen Epilepsie und schizophrenen Psychosen geben.

Abstract

The association of epilepsy, the epilepsypsychoses and schizophrenia has attracted the attention of psychiatrists and neurologists since the nineteenth century. While until the 1970ies German speaking psychiatry had shown great interest, in recent years there have been only a small number of publications on this topic. However there has been intensive research likewise on the epilepsypsychoses, especially on the association of temporal lobe epilepsy and schizophrenia in the English-speaking psychiatry. The epilepsypsychoses are inadequately categorized by the modern classification systems. Current knowledge of either the epilepsypsychoses or the relationship between epilepsy and schizophrenia is examined.
