Abstract
Emotional history was evaluated in a sample of cancer patients and a sample of noncancer patients who were hospitalized for treatment. An in-depth interview was conducted with each S to identify the frequency, duration, and intensity of each emotion-provoking event that he could remember across his life history. Evaluations of the interview information identified more frequent and intense emotional events in the Ss with cancer than in the controls who did not have cancer.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
