Abstract

Clinical guidelines Living donors Psychological assessment
The author addresses the need for clinical guidelines to assess subtle psychological characteristics of living organ donors in view of the continuing concern with issues of motivation, manipulation, & uncertain outcome. Since the traditional DSM diagnostic approach has failed to clarify these issues, the identification of the ego-defense mechanisms of six prospective donors & their utility in guiding the decision to accept or reject them is described. (Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, 70[4], 283-294). Adapted from the source document.
