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.

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.

Serves as a valuable tool to assist teaching and to facilitate research into psychological interventions in oncology, palliative care and bereavement.

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.

Review “As a handbook, this text suceeds most thoroughly as alow-altitude survey of what lies under the sun of thepsycho-therapeutic aspect of psycho-oncology’. Well-trod topicssuch as cognitive-behavioural therapies and motivationalinterviewing are represented here with fresh coverage that will bebeneficial to all but specialized practioners of these modalities.”(Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 2012)”The handbook is quite practical, though theory well supports thetherapies. It is likely to help in teaching about psychotherapiesas well as to practice it. It is a comprehensive resource book forresearchers on such therapies.
