Abstract
In a group of 26 hospitalized male Hansen's disease patients, Barrier, Penetration, and Anatomy scores were obtained as projective indicators of body image, using the Holtzman Inkblot Technique. As predicted, patients did not differ from healthy controls. The body image measures were not related to length of hospitalization nor to observable disfigurement. The hypothesis was strengthened that concepts about the body are not directly associated with physical disability.
