Recenzii

"Cancer and the Family Life Cycle: A Practitioner's Guide is rich with resources and highly readable. The authors integrate two conceptually useful models--stages of dealing with cancer and stages of the family life cycle--in an exceptionally clear way... This book should be valuable both to experienced clinicians and to students in any discipline helping patients and their families cope with cancer." -- Jean L. Kisteller, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Indiana State University
"The book engages and teaches the clinician by tracing the adjustment of several families as they go through the family life cycle with the disease. This device brings the theoretical and technical points to life in a vibrant way. Drs. Veach, Nicholas and Barton have provided a brilliant addition to the libraries of psycho-oncologists which will be appreciated for years to come." -- Steven D. Passik, Ph.D., Director, Oncology Symptom Control and Research, Community Cancer Care Inc., and Professor of Psychology, Indiana University School of Medicine
"I highly recommend this book as a reference tool to the health professional who works with families in any phase of the clinical course of cancer." -- Robin Baldwin, RN, BSN, National Cancer Institute
