“…105 It would be valuable to understand the concerns and feelings of the patient toward the recipient, as well as the closeness, to make a confident impression. Post-transplant concern of the donor about the organ has been described, especially when the recipient had been ill. 119 Known as the 'Siamese twin effect', such an observation was not robustly found in a study from Japan. 120 The donor not only needs psychological support pre-operatively, but also post procedure.…”

Liver transplantation is a life saving surgical procedure that is associated with improved longevity and enhanced quality of life. The number of successful liver transplants is growing worldwide. The procedure requires a dedicated and trained team of experts. A psychiatrist plays an important role in such a team. Psychiatric and psychosocial assessment is considered imperative to evaluate the candidate's suitability as a transplant recipient. Many psychiatric disorders may lead to the need for liver transplant, and if kept unchecked can adversely affect outcomes. Psychiatric problems arising in the post-transplant period may also require intervention of the psychiatrist. The donor too needs to be evaluated adequately to assess for psychological fitness for the procedure. This article provides broad overview of the various psychiatric and psychosocial issues pertaining to liver transplantation.

The present study examines the relationships between lung transplant recipients and their unknown, deceased donors. Out of 20 semi-structured interviews, eight narratives, by three female and three male recipients respectively, were identified in which the figure of the donor played a role. These narratives were examined using JAKOB, a qualitative research tool that analyses relational configurations and diagnoses psychodynamic conflicts. Analysis revealed a broad range of varying themes and relationships with equally varying wish and fear themes. All the narrators dealt either explicitly or implicitly with whether and how they are connected to their donors. In five narratives, specific personality traits were attributed to the figure of the donor; in four narratives, latent feelings of guilt concerning the donor's death were expressed. Indeed, the figure of the donor was not always perceived as an independent person, separate from the narrator's self: in two cases, the donor appears as part of the recipient's self, while in another case, the donor is presented as a transitional object for the recipient. The findings of the narrative analysis are discussed within a theoretical model of psychical organ integration.

“…This appears to be in keeping with the view of 'changes to the body architecture', that is, the renal transplant enlarges the body-image of the individual (Castelnuovo-Tedesco, 198 1). Muslin (1971) also suggests that for these patients in the 'foreign body' state the whole body configuration feels changed.…”

Differences in body-image between live-related and cadaver renal transplant recipients were investigated. A body-image questionnaire as part of a comprehensive psychological assessment was individually adrninistered to ten live-related and 30 cadaver renal transplant patients. A factor analysis of the questionnaire items disclosed eight factors in the ratings of body-image. Separate factor scores were then calculated for each participant in the study on each factor. Further statistical analysis of these scores revealed no significant sex-related differences in the ratings, but indicated that live-related renal recipients overall felt less positive than cadaver renal recipients concerning the body's physical attractiveness, and physical contact. The implications of these findings for a psychonephrology service are discussed.Verskille in liggaamsbeeld tussen lewendig-verwante en kadawer renale oorplantingsresipiente is ondersoek. As deel van 'n kornprehensiewe sielkundige ondersoek is 'n liggaamsbeeld vraelys indvidueel toegepas op tien lewendig-verwante en 30 kadawer renale oorplantingspasiente. 'n Faktoranalise van die vraelys se items het agt faktore in die liggaamsbeeld bepalings getoon. Aparte faktortellings is toe bereken vir elke deelnerner aan die studie ten opsigte van elke faktor. Verdere statistiese ontleding van hierdie tellings het geen beduidende geslagsverwante verskille in die bepalings getoon nie, rnaar we1 dat lewendig-verwante renale resipiente vergeleke met kadawer renale resipiente in die geheel rninder positief gevoel het oor die liggaarn se fisiese aantreklikheid en fisiese kontak. Die implikasies van hierdie bevindinge vir dienslewering in die psigonef rolog ie word bespreek.
