Description - Handbook of Psychotherapy in Cancer Care by Maggie Watson
This new book by international experts in psycho-oncology has
arisen from the teaching academies offered by the International
Psycho-oncology Society. It distills the wisdom and experience from
the training manuals dedicated to individual psychological
therapies and combines them into an accessible handbook for
clinicians in cancer care today.
The editors have brought together leading researchers and
therapists, who provide accounts of the prominent models of
psychotherapy currently being used in cancer care, the key themes
they address and the essential techniques needed to apply each
approach successfully. Helpful clinical illustrations are
woven throughout the book to make overt the strategies found in
each model.
Provides practical guidance about how to deliver a range of
individual, group, couple and family interventions that have proven
utility in cancer care.
Describes comprehensively each model of psychotherapy as taught
by experts delivering the International Psycho-Oncology
Society?s Educational Academy on cancer care for patients and
their families.
Features practical suggestions on therapy delivery from the
world?s leading proponents of each therapy.
Serves as a valuable tool to assist teaching and to facilitate
research into psychological interventions in oncology, palliative
care and bereavement.
Functions as a readily accessible resource for clinicians
struggling to support someone effectively, through its provision of
insight into the common challenges and traps that arise when
providing patients with emotional
support.
This practical handbook will help not only psychiatrists,
psychologists and social workers but also physicians, surgeons,
general practitioners and nurses interested in better understanding
and supporting the patients and families they care for.
