The possibility of treating patients with organ replacement therapy
has created a new frontier in medical care. Hospitals have to deal
with such vital issues as selecting potential recipients of
transplants, ensuring equity in allocating organs, pre- and
peri-transplantation care of patients, and post-transplantation
follow-up of organ recipients. The decisions pertaining to these
issues often fall to social workers, who, with their bifocal
concern for individuals and society, have significant contributions
to make. Here, Dhooper reviews the contributions of the few social
workers in this field and suggests ways of improving their work,
consolidating their professional gains, and maximizing their
impact. Dhooper discusses all aspects of organ transplantation, and
explores and proposes new social work roles and appropriate skills
for involvement at the individual, organizational, and community
levels. He deals with the larger moral, societal, economic, and
technical issues, as well as the here-and-now concerns of the
social worker. Recommended for social workers trained for practice
in the 1990s and beyond, and particularly those specializing in
health and mental health social work.
