Increasing efficacy of biomedical treatments for cancer means that
more and more people are living longer with the disease. The
five-year relative survival rate for all cancers has increased
considerably in the last three decades, with some survivors living
for many years and thus facing increasingly complex psychosocial
issues. As a result, the mental health subspecialty of
psycho-oncology is growing and is responding to the many calls for
increased availability of psychological services for cancer
patients. Psychosocial Care of the Adult Cancer Patient introduces
psychologists and other mental health professionals to the field of
psycho-oncology, educates them about evidence-based interventions
for individuals, groups, couples, and families, and describes how
to successfully collaborate with oncologists and other cancer care
professionals. Introductory in nature and providing ready access to
a range of evidence-based interventions, this book briefs the
reader on the field of psycho-oncology and the basics of cancer,
explains screening and assessment for psychosocial distress,
details the principles of evidence-based interventions, and
concludes with case examples that illustrate the evidence-based
practice competencies-ask, access, appraise, translate, integrate,
and evaluate. In a unique writing style, the case examples reveal
the decision-making process of an experienced clinician doing
evidence-based practice. Practical strategies for addressing the
psychological needs of cancer patients and their families are
offered in an easy-to-use, quick reference format. Key points are
highlighted and enhanced through the use of tables and figures
designed to summarize and emphasize important information. This
book will be of value to clinical and counseling psychologists and
other mental health professionals, as well as graduate students in
psychology, social work, mental health counseling, oncology
nursing, and other cancer care professions.
