Emotional And Relational State Of The Cancer Patient's Family: What Interventions?

Authors : Azieze Ghania .

Abstract

Cancer is a serious physical disease. It is a borderline situation not only for the patient, but also for his or her family, in that it tests not only who he or she is as a person, but also the entire interactional balance of the emotional and social context from which he or she comes. In order to truly understand cancer as a lived experience, it is essential that everyone involved takes into account the family's relationship to the event that is each patient's diagnosis of a tumour. We contribute to this effort by reviewing the scientific literature on the emotional and familial dimensions of cancer. We propose a model of the "psychologist-patient-family" relationship that focuses not only on knowledge, but also on the emotional response to adaptation to the disease. The therapeutic implications of this model are also considered. Interpretation and discussion of this model conclude the results of this paper. Key words : Cancer ;Psycho-oncology ; Family; Emotional.
