Abstract

This section of the monograph is treated differently from the rest. It has been possible in other sections to prepare either detailed bibliographies of published work on the study of attitudes to cancer, as in chapter 1, which called for no more than an accurate presentation of what facts have so far been uncovered; or to present a guide to some of the accessible and upto-date reviews of research in other disciplines, as in Chapter 5, in which our aim has been to refer readers to authoritative compendia of information rather than to provide a substantial commentary of our own.

A thoughtful review which is general in application, but contains much of interest to those whose particular interest is in cancer. Discussion of fear, anxiety and worry (before, during and after treatment) is very stimulating, since it takes account of both the ‘desirable’ and ‘undesirable’ effects on behaviour.
