BR.J.PSYCHIATRY , 1984, vol. 144, n° 5, p. 493-497 Doc n°: 24465 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : JI1 - SCHEMA CORPOREL - PSYCHOLOGIE HANDICAP, EB - AMPUTATION Much of what is known about the psychological response to amputation is derived from studies of veterans. Most recent amputees come from a different group; they are typically older and have experienced medical problems prior to their amputation. In order to investigate the effects of age and time since amputation on psychological response, 66 amputees were assessed by the Symptom Checklist-90, Beck Depression Inventory and interviewed. When classified by time since amputation and by age, the results indicate that older amputees exhibited less depression and fewer psychological symptoms, in contrast, younger amputees evidenced increased depression and psychological symptomatology the longer the time since their amputation.
