- Summary:
- Most people endure emotional distress during and after cancer treatment. Psychotherapy, though effective, is under-utilized as a treatment option. Psychological reactions to a cancer diagnosis can include depression, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, and relational distress. In this video, Dr. Ellen Dornelas demonstrates her approach to working with people with cancer using a cognitive-existential model focused on coping with the psychological complexity of cancer diagnosis and treatment. This video demonstration explores a cancer survivor's journey and unique psychosocial stressors. The goal of this therapy is to identify unmet emotional needs, provide support and to help the client to cope constructively with the uncertain outcomes associated with cancer. In this video, Dr. Ellen A. Dornelas works with a woman regarding her adjustment to advanced breast cancer
