Psycho-Oncology is a comprehensive handbook that provides best practice models for the management of psychological, cognitive, and social outcomes of adults living with cancer and their families. Chapters cover a wide range of topics including screening tools and interventions, psychiatric emergencies and disorders, physical symptom management, communication issues, and issues specific to common cancer sites. A resource section is appended to provide information on national services and programs.This book features contributions from experts designed to help clinicians review, anticipate and respond to emotional issues that often arise in the context of treating cancer patients. Numerous cross-references and succinct tables and figures make this concise reference easy to use. Psycho-Oncology is an ideal resource for helping oncologists and nurses recognize when it may be best to refer patients to their mental health colleagues and for those who are establishing or adding
psychosocial components to existing clinics.

Industry Reviews

Overall, this book meets its goal; as a pocket-sized reference to psychosocial problems in cancer care. It is full of tables and lists, which ensure the information is accessible. It provides a sound basis for assessing and treating the more obvious or severe psychological problems. I think this book would be useful to anyone who works in oncology and palliative care. * Roger Woodruff, www.hospicecare.com *
