Group therapy for cancer patients
a research-based handbook of psychosocial care
by David Spiegel and Catherine Classen
"Psychiatrist David Spiegel was the first to demonstrate that group support for cancer patients results in significantly enhanced survival times and in measurably greater quality of life - less anxiety, less depression and half as much pain.
His landmark research was initially published in The Lancet and later featured on Bill Moyers' PBS series Healing and the Mind; now, with psychologist Catherine Classen, he articulates the principles of conducting supportive-expressive group treatment with the medically ill.".
"Their book is rooted in the empirically validated conviction that meaningful social support is a vital link between medical care and disease outcome. It is at once a model, a manual for clinicians at every level and a celebration of a kind of helping that actually helps."--BOOK JACKET.
