The book includes a varied selection of chapters by contributors from different perspectives: mainstream healthcare professionals, complementary therapists and cancer patients themselves. Part 1 provides a general overview of the field; Part 2 describes a selection of specific therapeutic approaches; Part 3 considers their use within different settings.
This book investigates how the integration of conventional oncology with complementary and creative therapies can improve the overall well-being and care experience of cancer patients. The author, Jennifer Barraclough, compiles a multidisciplinary collection of perspectives to examine the intersection of clinical medicine and patient-centered holistic support. By synthesizing contributions from healthcare professionals, therapists, and patients, the text argues for a collaborative framework that addresses the physical, psychological, and spiritual dimensions of cancer treatment.
