Abstract
The inhibition of seizure activity by behavioural methods is becoming more popular. Lockhart''s monkey model of focal epilepsy suggests a theoretical approach to behavioural seizure inhibition. Behaviour, by changing the pattern of excitation and inhibition surrounding a focus, is thus able to inhibit seizure activity. This article describes single case studies in which the behavioral methods of cued arousal, covert desensitization and relaxation have brought about a decrease in seizure frequency.Keywords
