| Summary |
With the exception of the afterword, the chapters contained in this collection of readings were selected from articles appearing in American Psychological Association (APA) published journals in recent years. The articles were covered by PsycINFO at the time of their original publication and can be found in the PsycINFO journal database. The intent of this reprint reader is to highlight contributions by psychologists on psychological aspects of cancer. Selection of representative articles was determined, in part, by topic coverage. The 5 topics areas are (a) conceptualization, (b) coping and adjustment, (c) interventions and outcomes, (d) family dynamics, and (e) disease course.
