CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY AND Y PSYCHO-ONCOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Psychology employs empirical, quantitative and qualitative research methods to analyze behavior.
Our psychology department places special emphasis on holistic therapy, aiming at personal growth and accompanying the patient in their process.
In our area of psycho-oncology we have as fundamental points:
1.- Prevention: not only is helping our patient to manage their problems but training in the prevention of their appearance.
2.- Therapeutic intervention and rehabilitation: having improved cancer survival rates, in many cases patients become chronic and we must help them coexist with their disease. There is still in our society, a high stigmatization of the word cancer and this has a very negative effect on our patients. At the time of giving a diagnosis to our patient it is very important to know what information we must give, know how to adapt it and fundamentally to know what each patient is willing to accept at each moment. The physical changes suffered by our patients as a result of their illness generate feelings of anxiety and our therapy will be aimed at incorporating our patient to a full and satisfactory life.
3.- Palliative care: sometimes we reach extreme stages of the disease in which the most important thing is to make the patient’s daily life bearable and to provide care that will lead him to a peaceful and peaceful death.
