Reviews and Awards

"This is a great down to earth guide, for all those involved in clinical care, through the maze of depression, suicidal ideation and simple inability to cope with the bad news that cancer patients have to face... an excellent volume, well edited and easy to read. I look forward to more titles in this important series contributing to the practical care of cancer patients." - Professor Karol Sikora
