Compassionate Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) for Cancer: The Human Touch

Abstract

Dr. Shakila

We have witnessed tremendous progress in cancer treatment and care during the past decades and with continuous innovations with one discovery building on another are responsible for most new advances in medicine that often leads to early detection and more effective options for treatment. However a diagnosis of cancer is still likely to be frightening and it often brings up a wide range of difficult emotions which have the significant impact on many areas of a person’s life. In this pursuit, a new dimension has been developed to work along with the clinical assessment and medical management-Emotion-Focussed Therapy (EFT). Emotion-focused therapy is empirically supported humanistic treatment that arose out the theoretical integration of research on psychotherapy with ideas from constructivist psychology, emotion theory and attachment theory.
