Editorial Reviews
Review
Cancer and the Family Life Cycle: A Practitioner's Guide is rich with resources and highly readable. The authors integrate two conceptually useful models--stages of dealing with cancer and stages of the family life cycle--in an exceptionally clear way... This book should be valuable both to experienced clinicians and to students in any discipline helping patients and their families cope with cancer.
–Jean L. Kisteller, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Indiana State University
I highly recommend this book as a reference tool to the health professional who works with families in any phase of the clinical course of cancer.
–Robin Baldwin, RN, BSN, National Cancer Institute
The book engages and teaches the clinician by tracing the adjustment of several families as they go through the family life cycle with the disease. This device brings the theoretical and technical points to life in a vibrant way. Drs. Veach, Nicholas and Barton have provided a brilliant addition to the libraries of psycho-oncologists which will be appreciated for years to come.
–Steven D. Passik, Ph.D., Director, Oncology Symptom Control and Research, Community Cancer Care Inc., and Professor of Psychology, Indiana University School of Medicine
Product Description
Not just a disease of the individual, cancer affects the entire family system. With three out of four families likely to experience some form of cancer, more and more families are in need of therapeutic assistance in dealing with long-term treatment regimens, treatment side effects, rehabilitation, loss, and survival concerns. Drawing perspectives from medical oncology, psychosocial oncology, and health psychology, Cancer and the Family Life Cycle is a practitioner's guide to assisting families of all stages through the clinical course of cancer.
The book explores diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, survivorship, recurrence, and the terminal phase, and for each phase, addresses concerns specific to families in each of the six stages of the family life cycle. Each chapter covers medical variables and current psychosocial literature and illustrates their clinical application through case studies that follow six families through their experience with cancer. Written and organized to be straightforward and accessible, Cancer and the Family Life Cycle is an essential resource for psychologists, therapists, counselors, social workers, and all other professionals who seek to help families as they adapt to cancer.
