Good and effective treatment in radiotherapy requires careful consideration of the complex variables involved along with critical assessment of the techniques. This new edition of an established classic takes into account advances in imaging and treatment delivery and reflects the current state of the art in the practice of radiotherapy, emphasising the underlying principles of treatment that can be applied for conventional, conformal and novel treatments.
This text examines the critical factors determining a patient's adjustment to physical illness, focusing on the influence of patient, illness, and social variables. It details both direct (problem-focused) and indirect (emotion-focused) coping strategies used to manage pain, symptoms, and emotional distress. Furthermore, the analysis covers communication strategies for terminal patients and outlines the five classic psychological stages of dying: Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance.
