Abstract
From the time a person is diagnosed with cancer, a psychological sequalae of intense emotional challenges emerge for the patient as well as family members. Different stages require different types of psychosocial support including those for previvors, survivors, and people who need palliative care. Currently, there is an emphasis on not only providing psychological assistance to cope with emotional, interpersonal, and economic stresses, but training programs specially designed to activate personal and social resources to find happiness and meaning in adversity. Within this perspective, the chapter is divided into three sections, each considering the common mental health issues and positive changes and intervention and therapies for cancer patients, family members, caregivers, onco-staff, and professionals.
