The organ availability and resources limitations, mainly in third world countries, plus the high-cost and complexity of the cases, have influenced the psychosocial preparation and selection of the transplant candidate. Objective: To expose the Renal Pre-Transplantation Psychosocial Intervention (PTPI) that has been used in Clínica de Marly in Bogotá, Colombia, and to propose the restructuring of the concept of pre-transplant assessment to PTPI. Results: A five-step scheme is described: initial individual session, biography analysis, second individual session, family session, and presentation of the verbal and written report. Conclusions: An interactive, inexpensive, easily applied protocol is exposed. Additionally, the concept of pretransplant assessment is substituted by PTPI because more than being a selection process, it also pursues psycho-educational and psychotherapeutic goals.}, booktitle = {Revista Colombiana de Psiquiatría, ISSN:0034-7450, Vol.38, No.4 (2009); pp. 654-668}, keywords = {trasplante de órganos}, keywords = {insuficiencia renal crónica}, keywords = {determinación de la personalidad}, title = {Intervención psiquiátrica previa al trasplante renal}, publisher = {Asociacion Colombiana de Psiquiatria}, keywords = {Organ transplantation}, keywords = {chronic renal insufficiency}, keywords = {personality assessment}, }
