Abstract: The rise of the psychoanalytic approach to behavioralmedicine in the early part of the 20th century created a unique concept ofthe nature and the aetiology of epilepsy based upon dynamic psychopathology.As a direct result of this a radical change in both medical and communityperception of this condition was generated, and this was to persist up toand beyond the mid-century mark. This historical note details the adoption,and the rise and fall of this concept of ``the epileptic constitution'', anda consideration of the negative effects that flowed from this, permeatingall areas of psychiatry, neurology and even the criminal justice system.
