Threat and loss in breast cancer

  • J. M. Deadman (a1), M. J. Dewey (a1), R. G. Owens (a1), S. J. Leinster (a1) and P. D. Slade (a1)...
Synopsis

The psychological well-being of forty-four breast cancer patients was assessed shortly before and after surgery, and at three and twelve months post-operatively. Regression analysis revealed type of treatment, control over treatment and concern for appearance as significant predictors of nature of subsequent mood state. Results are discussed with reference to the theoretical position that type of severe life event can predict the nature of ensuing psychological disorder.
