dealing with the psychological problems, particularly anxiety and
depression, of patients diagnosed with cancer. Providing a

behavior, this book explores the therapeutic implications of such
converse dynamics. Chapters review financial toxicity, eHealth,
palliative care, mindfulness, sleep and cancer, social support and
