I have been approached by a PhD student out of Texas, who wants to use material from the site for a paper she is working on. She is asking if we are ok with her use of the material on this site.

Others yet are quite vehement in their refusal to have BIID include anything else than “amputation”. And so I decided to go to the source. I emailed Dr. Michael First, who coined the term Body Integrity Identity Disorder.
