✦ Synopsis

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has already been shown to be highly effective in the treatment of various psychological disorders within mental health populations; however, it has not been widely tested in the treatment of cancer patients. In the last decade there has been growing interest in the application of CBT interventions within psycho-oncology, and some studies have reported on its efficacy, both with individuals and in group-therapy contexts. To date there have been few descriptions of how a CBT programme for cancer patient groups can be structured and delivered. We present a description of a 12-session CBT programme that has been developed by our centre, for delivery to cancer patient groups.
