Building a bridge - for a shared path. How can I, as a therapist, establish the foundation for a trusting and supportive relationship, and how do I shape the necessary psycho-oncological dialogue? For the experienced psycho-oncologist Peter Weyland, the conversation - empathetic, accepting the patient, and incorporating their resources - is at the heart of successful psycho-oncological support. The structured initial conversation is presented in detail and concretely, exploring possibilities for support while also highlighting boundaries. The psycho-oncological dialogue during the subsequent shared journey through all phases of cancer is also examined in this new edition. The author illustrates the burdens faced by patients, as well as those experienced by therapists, and their coping strategies through numerous diverse case examples that provide the reader with insight.
