Abstract
Caregivers of children with cancer face a myriad of stressors related to caring for their child that can place them at risk for mental health concerns above and beyond that of the average adult. Additionally, they grapple with the existential distress caused by the possibility that they may outlive their child. Caregiver distress is not only problematic for their own emotional, spiritual, social, and physical well-being, but also affects the family unit and can interfere with aspects of the child’s treatment. Clinicians trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are well suited to support caregivers. Moreover, there is a strong evidence base for using interventions that incorporate cognitive and behavioral approaches with caregivers of children with cancer. We describe CBT’s application to this population through several case examples and also highlight important special considerations.
期刊介绍：
Cognitive and Behavioral Practice is a quarterly international journal that serves an enduring resource for empirically informed methods of clinical practice. Its mission is to bridge the gap between published research and the actual clinical practice of cognitive behavior therapy. Cognitive and Behavioral Practice publishes clinically rich accounts of innovative assessment and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that are clearly grounded in empirical research. A focus on application and implementation of procedures is maintained.
