Abstract
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.
