Review:

"There is much to interest palliative care specialists in this comprehensive overview of the contribution that mental health professionals have made to cancer patient care - and increasingly to cancer prevention...There has been a striking expansion in the evidence availbale to support the use of a variety of therapeutic interventions and this section included chapters dealing with complementaru therapies and with spiritual issues as well as coverage of formal pscyhological approaches." -- Palliative Medicine

"The chapters are well written...Psycho-oncology is well worth every penny as a chaplanincy department resource for spur-of-the-moment questions that arise in patient care and interdisciplinary conferences. Further, it is a rich resource for leads on further reading and ideas for research projects."-- National Association of Catholic Chaplains

."..the book more than justifies its publication, greatly expanding on the biomedical aspects of cancer and cancer care rather than focusing only on psycholsocial issues. It has tremendous breadth and applicability to medical, nursing and mental health professionals."-- Doody's Journal

"Weighing in at slightly less than seven pounds, this 1189-page textbook stands as the authoritative reference on both psychological issues in the care of persons with cancer and the psychological, social, and behavioral factors that contribute to cancer risk and survival...Psycho-oncology will appeal to a wide audience of health care workers, including students, postgraduate trainees, and practitioners in medical surgical areas and mental health." -- I AMA

"The authors goal was to provide a single resource within which the wide variety of information related to psycho-oncology could be found and presented in non-technical jargon...sections well worth reading include Bone Marrow Transplantation, Pain, Suicide and Substance Abuse Disorders....Mental health clinicians working with cancer patients should have ready
