Psychotherapy during radiotherapy: effects on emotional and physical distress
B Forester, DS Kornfeld and JL Fleiss
The authors determined the effects of ongoing weekly individual
psychotherapy on the symptoms of patients undergoing a 6-week course of
radiotherapy for cancer. Forty-eight patients were given weekly
psychotherapy sessions for 10 weeks; another 52 patients served as control
subjects. A statistically significant reduction was found in both emotional
and "physical" manifestations of distress in the patients receiving
psychotherapy compared with the control group. This was true regardless of
gender, ward or private patient status, or knowledge of diagnosis. Patient
gender and knowledge of diagnosis did affect the pattern and magnitude of
the response to psychotherapy.
