Perspectives from a Psych-Oncology Team Working with Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer 1st Edition

Capture the human side of cancer care with Perspectives from a Psych-Oncology Team Working with Teenagers and Young Adults with Cancer 1st Edition by Jane Elfer — an essential resource that speaks directly to the emotional, developmental and clinical challenges of supporting adolescents and young adults (AYA) facing cancer.

This compassionate, evidence-informed collection brings together clinical insight and practical strategies from a multidisciplinary psych-oncology team. It explores communication across developmental stages, family dynamics, identity and body-image concerns, transitions between paediatric and adult services, survivorship planning and sensitive end-of-life conversations. Realistic case reflections and reflective practice points make complex concepts accessible and immediately applicable in clinical settings.

Designed for clinicians, psychologists, oncology nurses, social workers, counsellors and allied health professionals, this book translates theory into practice with clear frameworks for assessment, intervention and team-based care. Whether you work in hospital oncology wards, community services or adolescent clinics, the book offers culturally aware approaches adaptable to regional systems and diverse populations.

Readable, humane and professionally grounded, Jane Elfer’s volume supports better patient engagement, improved interdisciplinary collaboration and more confident conversations with young people and their families. It’s equally valuable for trainees, team leaders and policy-makers seeking to strengthen psychosocial oncology services for AYA.
