An Introduction to Psycho-Oncology by Patrice Guex
Cancer is extremely common and in many situations a truly frightening disease, but for too long the psychological aspects and effects have been ignored. An Introduction to Psycho-Oncology 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.`.. a very helpful book ... needs to be read widely, especially by all those involved in caring for cancer patients, and indeed by the patients themselves.' - The Lancet
`... a remarkable book, designed to inform and update health professionals on the complex and important relationships between the mind and body in oncology, the study of cancer.' - Medical Research Council News

Provides a holistic review of psycho-oncology ... will prove very useful for those coming into contact with cancer patients.' - Nursing Times
