Abstract
Patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation for treatment of aplastic anemia, leukemia or certain other conditions were closely followed by a psychiatric service functioning as part of a multidisciplinary team. A somewhat predictable pattern of psychological reactions to the stress of various stages of the procedure emerged. Approaches to patient evaluation, typical patient responses and suggestions for working with these patients and their families were described.
