Abstract
At present there is considerable evidence that suggests cancer patients, once diagnosed, experience significant and long-term psychosocial problems. Several studies have evaluated group interventions, but only a few have used group cognitive behavioural therapy (GCBT) with cancer patients. The following paper represents a review of the literature of GCBT, illustrating the key findings from these studies.Keywords
