A better understanding of the phenomenon and greater dissemination of information about it should facilitate post-operative adjustment. The phantom is a normal experience following amputation or sudden denervation of any structure having previously given rise to tactile-proprioceptive sensations. It is absent for congenitally missing limbs and those lacking sensation from birth. Its incidence rises with increasing age at amputation in childhood and reaches 100% at eight years. Gradual digital absorption in leprosy does not produce phantoms. Journal Information Journal of Health and Social Behavior (JHSB) publishes articles that apply sociological concepts and methods to the understanding of health, illness, and medicine in their social context. Its editorial policy favors those manuscripts that build and test knowledge in medical sociology, that show stimulating scholarship and clarity of expression, and which, taken together, reflect the breadth of interests of its readership. Published quarterly in March, June, September, and December. Publisher Information American Sociological Association Mission Statement: Serving Sociologists in Their Work Advancing Sociology as a Science and Profession Promoting the Contributions and Use of Sociology to Society The American Sociological Association (ASA), founded in 1905, is a non-profit membership association dedicated to advancing sociology as a scientific discipline and profession serving the public good. With over 13,200 members, ASA encompasses sociologists who are faculty members at colleges and universities, researchers, practitioners, and students. About 20 percent of the members work in government, business, or non-profit organizations.

Working at the national and international levels, the Association aims to articulate policy and impleme nt programs likely to have the broadest possible impact for sociology now and in the future.
