Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Modern medicine has developed solutions that allow cancer patients to live longer lives, but depression and anxiety often make these years painful and difficult. This book develops the techniques of behavior activation therapy into practical activities people recovering from cancer can use to recognize and overcome problems with depression and anxiety. Relieved from these two sources of emotional pain and limitation, readers of this book will be able to live life fully and apply their energy to the task of getting better.
Successes build on one another, creating a model for ever more positive feelings in the future. This key to success, though, is to keep focusing on engaging in enjoyable behaviors without getting bogged down by pain, frustration, and worry. Keeping on track is easy with the step-by-step approach offered in the book.

Finally, a truly useful book for dealing with the emotional side of having cancer. Hopko and Lejuez have assembled a collection of sensible techniques based on years of research on depression, anxiety, and the experience of cancer. The book begins with four chapters of useful information about cancer, cancer treatments, depression, anxiety, and the problems of avoiding upsetting situations. This is followed by six chapters of specific, well-reasoned, step-by-step instructions for overcoming depression and anxiety. (Contrary to what was said in another review, this book is not about being cured of cancer through the power of your mind - It's about coping with the emotional side of having cancer and working toward a happier and more fulfilling life). As a researcher and a clinician familiar with these issues, I would recommend this book to people coping with cancer and to therapists working with cancer patients.

This workbook has been extremely helpful in my life. It has made life with cancer more manageable and relieved my depression and anxiety. It is very user-friendly and doesn't try to confuse the reader with complicated professional lingo. The exercises are very easy to do, well structured, and not as time-consuming as some others I have tried. (The mindfulness techniques are especially great for when my kids are getting on my nerves!). This book has made my life a lot less stressful.
