Introduction to Psycho-Oncology

<p>Cancer is extremely common and in many situations a truly frightening disease but for too long the psychological aspects and effects have been ignored. <em>An Introduction to Psycho-Oncology</em> deals in a clear and simple manner with the reactions of cancer patients to their illness and the ways in which they can be helped. In the context of a multidisciplinary approach that takes account of medical treatments as well as psychological interventions Guex offers suggestions for better ways of communicating so as to provide a therapeutic partnership between carer and client.</p>
