Jan 02, 2013 “Although these issues are absent, the book is well written and is an important resource for geriatric oncology clinicians. This book is the first of its kind, filling a gap and furthering the field of geriatric oncology.” (Psycho-Oncology, 5 July 2013).
Originally published by Oxford in 1998, Psycho-Oncology was the first comprehensive text in the field and remains the gold standard today. Edited by a team of leading experts in psycho-oncology, spearheaded by Dr. Holland, the founder of the field, the text reflects the interdisciplinary nature and global reach of this growing field. Thoroughly updated and developed in collaboration with the American Psychosocial Society and the InternationalPsycho-oncology Society, the third 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 behavioralfactors that contribute to cancer risk and survival.
