摘要:AbstractThe general purpose of this study, carried out in Serbia, was to measure the effects of neurological illness on the attachment perception. Twenty-nine children affected by epilepsy, 36 by cerebral palsy, and 50 children without any pathology as control group constituted the sampling of this study. The data were collected using the Security Scale (Kerns, Klepac, and Cole, 1996). The results show statistical differences between children with neurological illness and the control group. A relation between the kind of treatment (hospitalization versus day-hospital) and the level of attachment was found. However, there were no differences between the group with epilepsy and the group with cerebral palsy.
