| Abstract: | (from the chapter) Evidence-based medicine advocates the use of effective interventions ahead of treatments not shown to have been efficacious. Jacobsen and Jim suggest that psychosocial cancer care that is ineffective is worse than no care at all. This highlights the importance of assessing an intervention's impact rather than relying on good intentions alone. This chapter focuses on evidence-based psychotherapies, which have the largest probability of reproducible efficacy. We begin with individually-focused therapies for patients with early stage cancer, move to systemic therapies (couple, group and family) that bridge across all stages of cancer and conclude with psychotherapy for advanced cancer, including patients receiving palliative care.
