Patients become relentlessly immobile and, in the late stages of the disease, develop a locked-in state in which only residual muscular movement is possible, but the intellect and the personality usually remain unimpaired. At now, there is no cure for ALS. The psychological impact of the disease is huge, on both patients and caregivers. Aim of the present Research Topic is to collect new evidence about quality of life, depression, anxiety, pain, spiritual and existential issues, hope and hopelessness in the ALS field, with attention to both patients and their caregivers. Emphasis will be provided to the investigation of psychological support and the possible role of psychologists in this challenging field. 410 0$aFrontiers research topics. 606 $aAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis$xPsychological aspects 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aClinical psychology 610 $aclinical psychology 610 $aAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 610 $amedical psychology 610 $aQuality of Life 610 $aHealth Psychology 610 $aChronic disorders 615 0$aAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aClinical psychology. 676 $a616.8390019 700 $aGianluca Castelnuovo$4auth$01331092 702 $aPagnini$b Francesco 702 $aCastelnuovo$b Gianluca 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136797003321 996 $aPsychological issues in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis$93387916 997 $aUNINA
