Organ transplantation is no longer considered an experimental oddity, but rather a viable therapeutic option for many patients with end-stage organ disease. As experience with transplant has increased, the personal and emotional impact of the procedures have become increasingly apparent. In addition, the demands which transplantation place on the patient and their support network are extreme and coping skills are stretched to the limit. This book reviews conceptual issues relevant to all types of transplant. In addition, psychiatric sequelae which are more specific to certain transplant procedures are emphasized. This text provides both insights into the clinical management of transplant candidates and recipients and also indicates directions for future research.

Editorial Reviews
Review
`this is an authoritative and essential work for those with a particular interest' British Medical Journal
'The book is very clearly written and organized, and goes from general considerations to specific organ transplants, and is intended both for the general interested reader to the specialized clinician looking for a reference text.' The Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Review, Vol. 3, No. 3, Winter 1992
'This is an important multi-authored book. The subject matter is significant, the chapters are good general reviews and, most importantly, there is an extensive bibliography. This is a reference book for the medical library and the shelves of transplant professionals and para-professionals for sure, and will well serve the clinicians actively engaged in clinical transplant programs.' R.D. Guttmann, Transplant International, 1993
'... offers the reader an opportunity to appreciate the breadth and relevance of psychological issues related to organ transplant within a thoughtful, well-delineated framework ... And, because of the societal, economic, and ethical issues raised, this book is worthy of consideration whatever the reader's specific background or interest. R.A. Hewko, Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Review, Vol.4 No.1
'The editors - respected specialists in the psychiatric aspects of organ transplantation - have put together what I believe to be the first book published in this field. The book is well put together, largely free of psychiatric jargon, and readable by graduates and trainees in a wide variety of medical specialties. It is highly recommended for those interested in the emotional aspects of organ transplantation. The editors are to be congratulated on a fine piece of work.' Norman B. Levy, New York Medical College, NEJM, Vol. 329, No. 22, Nov '93
