Psychological Care for Cancer Patients: New Perspectives on Training Health Professionals is an innovative work in psychosocial oncology which examines the role of creative expression in the psychological treatment of cancer patients. After having spent five decades in this field, Domenico Arturo Nesci has become a proponent of treatment that values patients as creatives and valiant fighters rather than objects of an ambivalent compassion. This book analyzes this intersection of psychology, the humanities, medicine, and social work through scholarship conceived to help all people whose lives are crossed by cancer: patients, relatives, caregivers, health professionals, and students.

Reviews for Psychological Care for Cancer Patients: New Perspectives on Training Health Professionals

This book contains an original approach to the lived experience that cancer patients undergo. Domenico Arturo Nesci exhibits a truly personal disposition towards his patients; one that is, in a broad sense, humanistic yet well-grounded in the psychological dimension of the patient-doctor relationship. Both dimensions are badly needed in our time and age, considering the highly technological nature of the medical and surgical environments in today's hospital settings. Practitioners and lay persons may benefit from this newer and potentially useful view of what cancer - the disease, but also the anthropological fact - represents existentially for those who suffer from it and those who are called to treat them. -- Dominique Scarfone, MD, Universite de Montreal; Canadian Psychoanalytic Society and Institute
