Abstract

Van Eys and Copeland have discussed their approach to systematic involvement of pediatric cancer patients and their families in the treatment planning process. They describe a formal group meeting using therapeutic community concepts in which patients and their family members are invited to participate. This approach is reported as successful by the authors and suggestion is made that given greater resources, more frequent utilization of the process could be made. Any attempt to improve communication with patients and their families is laudable. Even more so is a sincere effort to involve patients and families in the treatment planning process in a meaningful way.
