Psycho-prosthetics: Can a Prosthesis every really become a part of you? (repeat)

06/07/2003
What does it feel like to lose a part of you? Is part of your essential psychological self lost as well? And can a prosthetic limb ever replace that? This week a repeat of a popular program about the pioneering field of psycho-prosthetics - the psychology of adapting to a prosthesis. Powerfully candid stories of life after limb loss, and the love/hate relationship with a synthetic limb that just isn't your own.
