Major nephrological and psychological organizations have, at best,
set aside only small portions of their programs for papers or
panels devoted to the psychological aspect of patients with
end-stage renal disease. Thus, the increased need for information
concerning the psychological aspects of end-stage renal disease has
been met by occasional journal articles, professional peer
discussions, small portions of national confer ences, and informal
conversations and consultations with people with clinical and
research experience in these areas. The First International
Conference on Psychological Factors in Hemodialysis and
Transplantation arose out of a need to have a forum in which the
major people involved in treatment and research in this area could
share their latest work among themselves and with the registrants.
The initial encouragement for organizing such a conference came
from the rank and file of nephrology social workers, nephrology
nurses, and liaison psychiatrists and psychologists. In early 1977
I had decided that I would make an effort to organize such a
meeting and asked the two other individuals most closely identified
with major research in this area, Atara Kaplan De-Nour and Harry S.
Abram, to join me in planning this confer ence. With their support
and suggestions concerning the program, I embarked upon an attempt
to raise financial backing for it. I was some what surprised to
find that the many equipment and drug companies supporting
nephrological conferences were not greatly interested in this one."
