Abstract

The article presents an organizational structure for the psycho-oncological treatment of cancer patients that is unique in Germany, in which professional therapeutic support is provided by practioners from a wide range of professions under one roof. In addition, from the perspective of a psychooncologist, the intra-psychic processes that cancer patients can go through during their illness are described, as well as their psychooncological-psychotherapeutic treatment. The presentation is based on two case studies and a specific psychological-psychotherapeutic classification. The positive influence of a successful psycho-oncological treatment on the overall treatment compliance and thus on the comprehensive treatment success is also shown. In conclusion, it is stated that psychooncology in its best sense can help patients to recognize the value of their lives and, regardless of the time span left to live, to make life worth living. This claim requires for the psychooncological approach a holistic therapy offer, which also includes existential and trauma-oriented dimensions in the treatment.
