Abstract

This preliminary study assessed the psychologic distress and group psychotherapy of a small group of adolescents and young adults with cancer. A strong relationship was found between the patients' and parents' amount of psychologic distress. It seems that youngsters with cancer in active medical treatment (as well as their parents) use more denial and that psychotherapy increases psychologic distress.
