Description:
In a recent study Lucyna Lach, MSW, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, McGill University School of Social Work, and colleagues investigated the long term social outcomes of brain surgery for epilepsy in children and adolescents with an emphasis on interpersonal (social relationships) and intrapersonal (affective and instrumental) aspects of social functioning.
