title: [Transplantation and explantation from a psychosomatic perspective].
abstract: At first glance, transplantation medicine and psychosomatic medicine seem little related. This survey points out the possible contributions of psychosomatics to transplantation medicine. Special attention is given to organ donors, who in articles on transplantation medicine hardly receive the consideration they deserve.
