The present report attempts to describe the indications for psychotherapy with patients on chronic haemodialysis and the objective and subjective objections to such a treatment. The program for psychotherapy, drawn up after some deliberation, is described, and two cases are reported.
It seems that the difficulties encountered in psychotherapy with patients with limited life span also appear in psychotherapy with chronic haemodialysis patients. When these difficulties can be overcome, the results seem to be quite rewarding.
