About this course
This course will present the theoretical development and empirical evaluation of group interventions for cancer patients focusing on three primary group modalities: Psycho-educational, Expressive Therapeutic, and Cognitive-Behavioral. Findings related to group structure (e.g., participant selection) and dynamics (e.g., group process) in the cancer context will be discussed. Measures commonly used to evaluate treatment efficacy outcomes (e.g., quality of life, physiological measures of stress reduction, survival rates) and meta-analyses of these outcome studies will be reviewed. The underlying mechanisms through which group interventions impact emotional states and the ability to cope with cancer related challenges, as well as their influence on disease progression, will be explored.
