Product Description

Book Description

Group Psychotherapy for Women With Breast Cancer contains a wealth of information about the group therapy process, discusses the various experiences of breast cancer patients, and supplies tools that both relatively new and seasoned therapists can rely on while beginning new groups. While providing a clinical framework for health professionals who wish to offer group psychosocial support to breast cancer patients, this manual trains therapists to help group members adjust to the diagnosis of breast cancer; cope with treatment, and adjust to living with cancer through considering its impact on their lives." "Used in concert with its companion book for group participants, The Breast Cancer Notebook: The Healing Power of Reflection, this clinician's guide offers a set of impressive and useful tools to help therapists create powerfully healing environments.

This review is from: Group Psychotherapy For Women With Breast Cancer (Hardcover)

This book is extremely useful, both for my cancer patients (not just breast cancer) but all of my patients having trouble adjusting to illness. This is a book written for the clinician who really treats patients. Although I've been working with cancer patients for a decade, this is the first book I've found that really helped me with my groups and individual patients. A MUST BUY!
