Psycho-Oncology cover

Originally published in 1998, Psycho-Oncology was the first comprehensive text in the field and remains the gold standard today. Previously led by Dr. Jimmie C. Holland, the founder of the field, this new edition is edited by a team of internationally renowned experts in psycho-oncology. The text reflects the interdisciplinary nature and global reach of this growing field. It covers evidence-based clinical practice guidelines from around the world, survivorship issues, psychotherapeutic interventions, and psychopharmacologic interventions. Thoroughly updated and developed in collaboration with the American Psychosocial Oncology Society and the International Psycho-Oncology Society, the fourth edition is a current, comprehensive reference for psychiatrists, psychologists, oncologists, hospice workers, and social workers seeking to understand and manage the psychological issues involved in the care of persons with cancer and the psychological, social, and behavioral factors that contribute to cancer risk and survival.

This invaluable reference should be available to all who provide psychological and medical care to cancer patients and their caregivers, including clinicians who may have cancer patients in their practices but are not themselves cancer specialists. * D. L. Loers, Choice Connect *
