Young adults who are affected by cancer face unique psychosocial and developmental challenges that often go overlooked. To address these needs effectively, this text draws on qualitative data from two pilot studies conducted in the United States. The studies aim to illustrate how group therapy can be a powerful tool in clinical settings to support this often-overlooked population.
The author, Dr. Elizabeth Kurker, has extensive experience working with pediatric and young adult cancer patients and their families, having served as a licensed clinical social worker for over 25 years. Throughout the book, she emphasizes the crucial role of the clinician in structuring support group sessions. Chapters are based on patient perspectives, showcasing effective interventions that help adolescents navigate the trauma associated with a cancer diagnosis, treatment, recovery, and its impact on their development.
The outcomes of these studies include valuable strategies for selecting support group participants, organizing group activities, and securing funding. Effective Group Therapies for Young Adults Affected by Cancer will be a valuable resource for oncology social workers and clinicians involved in adolescent support services. It will also be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of social work, psychology, and adolescent development.
By highlighting the unique challenges faced by young adults with cancer and demonstrating the effectiveness of group therapy in addressing them, this book aims to improve the quality of life and well-being of this population.
