Included with Stress Management Intervention for Women With Breast Cancer is a free copy of the Stress Management Intervention for Women With Breast Cancer: Therapist's Manual. Together, these two books provide a complete clinical framework for health professionals who wish to offer group psychosocial support to breast cancer patients. This package of resources focuses on training therapists to help group members cope with the diagnosis of breast cancer and its treatment through considering its impact on their lives, while also providing empirical validation for the program�s techniques and providing a session-by-session set of guidelines for each module of the program. A companion workbook is also available for group participants, and it presents valuable psycho-educational and psychotherapeutic components that teach women coping with breast cancer how to use empirically supported skills such as meditation and relaxation exercises to overcome otherwise overwhelming stressors. Together, this stress management package presents a clearly articulated, empirically supported program for doctors, therapists, psychologists, nurses, and other healthcare providers. --- from the publisher |
