Supportive-expressive group therapy and distress in patients with metastatic breast cancer: a randomized clinical intervention trial.
Arch Gen Psychiatry. 2001; (5): 494-501
Metastatic breast cancer carries with it considerable psychosocial morbidity. Studies have shown that some patients with metastatic breast cancer experience clinically significant anxiety and depression and traumatic stress symptoms. Supportive-expressive group psychotherapy was developed to help patients with cancer face and adjust to their existential concerns, express and manage disease-related emotions, increase social support, enhance relationships with family and physicians, and improve symptom control.
