Meaning-Centered Therapy for Blood Cancer Transplant Patients and Caregivers
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a type of counseling called meaning-centered psychotherapy to help patients who've had a blood stem cell transplant and their main caregiver deal with difficult emotions and existential concerns. The goal is to see if this therapy is helpful and acceptable for both of you together.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
