Especially promising among therapeutic strategies are ones that recognise patients as individuals with thoughts, feelings--and speech.  Rooted in deep understanding of the mutual  relationship between behavior and cancer, Behavioural Oncology combines extensive clinical wisdom and empirical data to illuminate the psychological, social, and existential aspects of cancer, and to offer a framework for empathic, patient-centered care. Chapters delve into the psychobiology of long-term illness, examining stress, pain, fatigue, sensory and sleep disturbances, and other quality of life issues as well as considerations of age, gender, culture, and comorbidity. The book's emphasis on linguistic and communicative aspects of cancer--and practical skills from respecting patient narratives to delivering bad news--adds necessary depth to concepts of the therapeutic relationship. In this way, the authors warn about overmedicalizing cases to the point of losing patient identity. Major areas of the coverage include: Biology and behavior in cancer prevention and suppression. The psychology of cancer patients: emotions, cognition, and personality Social dimensions, including stigma, coping, and social support Language, communication, and cross-cultural issues Existential, spiritual, and end-of-life concerns Doctor-patient relationships The psychological benefits of complementary therapies Bringing new scope and substance to familiar mind/body constructs, Behavioural Oncology is a definitive reference for a spectrum of healthcare  professionals, among them health and clinical psychologists, oncologists and family physicians, oncology nurses, and clinical social workers. Its discussion questions and summaries make it a suitable text for undergraduate and graduate courses in related topics. 606 $aClinical health psychology 606 $aPublic health 606 $aPersonality 606 $aSocial psychology 606 $aNursing 606 $aHealth Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y12020 606 $aPublic Health$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002 606 $aPersonality and Social Psychology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20050 606 $aNursing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H41005 615 0$aClinical health psychology. 615 0$aPublic health. 615 0$aPersonality. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 615 0$aNursing. 615 14$aHealth Psychology. 615 24$aPublic Health. 615 24$aPersonality and Social Psychology. 615 24$aNursing. 676 $a155.2 700 $aCordella$b Marisa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0868564 702 $aPoiani$b Aldo$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298083603321 996 $aBehavioural Oncology$91938808 997 $aUNINA
