Abstract
Problem-solving therapy is a cognitive-behavioral intervention that has been found to be effective in the treatment of a variety of mental health problems, especially depression. The relevance of this therapy for cancer patients is addressed and is placed within the context of a problem-solving model of stress. This model argues that the likelihood that cancer patients will experience significant and long-lasting emotional difficulties and psychological distress is partially a function of their problem-solving abilities. Research supports this model not only in general but also for cancer patients in particular. A large-scale outcome study is currently underway to evaluate the efficacy of problem-solving therapy with adult cancer patients.
