Adjuvant psychological therapy for cancer patients: Putting it on the same footing as adjunctive medical therapies

Journal/Book: Psycho Oncol. 2000; 9: Baffins Lane Chichester, W Sussex PO19 1UD, England. John Wiley & Sons Ltd. 367-371.

Abstract: A comparison is made between the models guiding the administration of adjuvant material remedies, such as chemotherapy, and 'adjunctive psychological therapy' (APT), in the treatment of cancer. It is argued that patients would benefit if APT were supplied subject to the same indications as adjuvant chemotherapy.
