Abstract

The requests for breast reconstruction after mastectomy have increased dramatically in recent years. The paper review the psycho-social literature in the area. It hints at the existence of uncertainty of what the wish for breast reconstruction mirrors. In an attempt to eliminate the uncertainty, empirical findings are contrasted to the theoretical considerations in the area. Since this approach is it is demonstrated that psychoanalytic theory and existential theory both can explain why mastectomized women seek breast reconstruction.
