- Abstract
Cancer, “public enemy no. 1”, is perhaps the best example of a disease whose origin is often attributed to external factors that get rid of our control, but which in most cases is a consequence of our lifestyle. The cancer diagnosis, regardless of its nature and regardless of the age or psychic structure of the person receiving the news, has an emotional and devastating impact. An extremely important element in this approach is the family and close persons. These are the ones who have access to the patient's privacy, providing emotional and motivational support in his struggle with the disease. Psychotherapy has a crucial contribution to emotionally rebalancing.
