Book
Helping cancer patients cope: A problem-solving approach
1998
Abstract
Like most wars, the “war on cancer” leaves casualties, scars, and lives in need of healing in its wake. This book is a direct outgrowth of Project Genesis, a clinical research program funded by the National Cancer Institute. Project Genesis was developed to help adult cancer patients heal their lives through a problem-solving-based psychosocial intervention. During the past two decades, problem-solving training has increasingly been applied as a means of helping to improve the quality of life for individuals experiencing a wide range of chronic and acute difficulties (D’Zurilla 6 Nezu, in press). For example, over 10 years ago, we formulated a problem-solving model of major depression, which led to the development of a highly effective treatment modality for this affective disorder (A. M. Nezu, Nezu, 6 Perri, 1989). More recently, we have turned our research and clinical attention to the psychosocial needs of cancer patients (A. M. Nezu, Nezu, Friedman, Houts, 6 Faddis, 1997).
