This article begins by reviewing the literature on the concept of psychosocial adaptation to impairment among persons with epilepsy. Particular attention is devoted to those roots reasoned to lie at the base of psychosocial problems manifested by people with epilepsy. The research literature on coping with epilepsy is then reviewed in two areas: (a) general coping styles and their relationship to psychosocial adaptation, and (b) specific coping strategies and their association with adaptation to epilepsy. Next, clinical implications of these findings are briefly outlined. The article concludes with a discussion of research limitations identified in the conceptualization and measurement of coping, followed by suggestions for future research on coping and adaptation to epilepsy.
