What is psycho-oncology?
Psycho-oncology is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the psychological consequences of cancer. It deals with the psychological effects of having cancer and with treating everyone affected by it — patients, carers and those treating them. Its aim is to help people with cancer and their families cope better with the psychological consequences of the illness, go through it with fewer psychological and social difficulties, and accept the hardships of this period more easily.
Main topics:
- Cancer: an overview
- Psychological aspects of having cancer
- Applying cognitive–existential theory in psycho-oncology
- Applying Adler’s theory in psycho-oncology
- Applying reality therapy in psycho-oncology
- Applying Gestalt theory in psycho-oncology
