Now in its eighteenth exciting year of publication, the Journal of Psychosocial Oncology is the first multidisciplinary journal published specifically for health professionals responsible for the psychosocial needs of cancer patients and their families. This forum provides for the rapid publication of new clinical and research material to help advance clinical and helping skills, as well as exploratory, hypothesis testing, and program evaluation research on such critical areas as the stigma of cancer, employment and personal problems facing cancer patients, patient education, family involvement in patient care, children with cancer, psychosocial needs of cancer patients, hospital and hospice staff, and volunteers. The journal covers all aspects of psychosocial care of the cancer patient from infancy through geriatrics. The distinguished editorial board includes representatives from many different fields in psychosocial oncology, including education, epidemiology, health advocacy, medical oncology, neurology, nursing, nutrition, pastoral counseling, physical therapy, psychiatry, psychology, public health, social work, sociology, and surgical oncology. Special columns and sections featured in the Journal of Psychosocial Oncology include: discussions of current ethical, philosophical, and existential issues for the psychosocial oncology specialist; a column on research issues, strategies, and methodologies in psychosocial oncology; announcements of current meetings, symposia, and courses offered in psychosocial oncology; book reviews that highlight important, new book-length works dealing with specific areas of psychosocial oncology; a selective bibliography of psychosocial oncology articles appearing in other journals.
