Abstract

Crisis intervention models have recently been applied to the evaluation and treatment of cancer patients and their families. This paper discusses the limitations of the crisis model in helping patients cope with a chronic illness such as cancer. The authors then present a case study to illustrate how a behavioral medicine approach can complement a crisis model and address the day-to-day problems that occur in living with cancer and its therapy.
