Enhancing Cancer Care: Complementary Therapy and Support - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Jennifer Barraclough qualified in medicine from Somerville College, Oxford, in 1970 and over the next 30 years held various clinical and academic posts in the UK, gaining experience in radiation oncology, family medicine, general psychiatry and palliative care settings. During the 1990s she carried out MRC-funded research in psycho-oncology; one project revealed a high frequency of unrecognised depression among patients with lung cancer, and another indicated that stressful life events did not significantly influence prognosis for patients with breast cancer. From 1991 to 2000 she was Consultant in Psychological Medicine and Director of Psycho-oncology at the Churchill Hospital, Oxford, involved with teaching and staff support as well as direct patient care. During this time she undertook training in various methods of complementary healing. She now lives in Auckland, New Zealand with her husband, and works part-time as a Bach Flower practitioner, life coach and seminar presenter.
