Description:

Cancer is common but the psychological effects are too often ignored. Illustrated with 11 case histories, this work aims to deal with the reactions of cancer patients to their illness, and the ways in which they can be helped in the hospital setting.

Synopsis:

Cancer is extremely common and in many situations a truly frightening disease, but for too long the psychological aspects and effects have been ignored. An Introduction to Psycho-Oncology deals in a clear and simple manner with the reactions of cancer patients to their illness, and the ways in which they can be helped. In the context of a multidisciplinary approach that takes account of medical treatments as well as psychological interventions, Guex offers suggestions for better ways of communicating so as to provide a therapeutic partnership between carer and client.
