AMA J Ethics. 2020 Jun 1;22(6):E544-549. doi: 10.1001/amajethics.2020.544.

Abstract

This article examines the challenges of raising a child with epilepsy and the role of portraiture in helping clinicians consider the impact of epilepsy not only on the patient but also on family caregivers. Portraiture facilitates the development of a visual narrative of how a child is seen by others, both figuratively and physically.
