How Are These Therapies Integrated into Cancer Treatment Plans?
Behavioral therapies are often integrated into a patient's overall treatment plan in several ways:
1. Referral by Oncologists: Oncologists may refer patients to mental health professionals when they identify psychological distress. 2. Multidisciplinary Teams: Behavioral therapists often work alongside medical doctors, nurses, and other healthcare providers. 3. Patient Self-Request: Patients themselves can request to see a behavioral therapist if they feel the need for psychological support.
