When this book first appeared in 1981, it was the first to deal
comprehensively with major issues in the psychotherapeutic
treatment of cancer patients. It remains the standard volume in the
field, drawing together a broad spectrum of work using
psychological approaches to treatment of cancer patients and to
understanding the disease's sociological and psychological
implications. Distinguished contributors from medicine, psychiatry,
psychoanalysis, psychology, social work, family and group therapy,
and nursing examine key issues, including the role of aggression in
the onset and treatment of cancer; sexual functioning of patients;
cancer as an emotionally regressive experience, cancer in children,
and the countertransference responses of a therapist working with a
cancer patient. This volume will be of particular value to helping
professionals who deal with cancer patients and their families.
