Objective: To describe some clinical issues encountered in individual and group therapy with women with metastatic breast cancer. Conclusions: The pressure to ‘keep positive’ poses dilemmas for patients and therapists alike, whether in individual or group therapy. The basis of skilled supportive care rests on the ability of therapists to assist patients and their families to face death rather than avoid it. Paradoxically, facing issues of death and dying leads to a greater sense of control, and empowers patients to reorder life's priorities, thus improving quality of life and relationships. In addition to the obvious need to detect and treat illness such as depression, working with women with metastatic breast cancer requires flexibility on the part of the therapist to adapt to her physical state of health, to include partners and family members where possible, and to liaise with colleagues in the treating team to facilitate communication and understanding of specific difficulties that may be encountered.

IntroductionSEGT has been found to be a valuable manualised model of therapy for reducing emotional distress facilitating the person’s management of the disease-related symptoms and improving quality of life in cancer populations (Butler et al. 2009; Classen et al. 2001; Lemieux et al. 2007). The fundamental domains covered by this model include promoting emotional expression confronting existential issues and optimising social support (Classen et al. 2001; Spiegel Bloom and Yalom 1981). Despite trials there are to our knowledge no systematic reviews that have sought to critic and pool evidence from all Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) on SEGT for people with advanced disease.AimsTo critique and pool the evidence from RCTs on the effectiveness of SEGT as a palliative care intervention for patients with advanced disease.MethodsFour databases (Pubmed Medline CINAHL PsycINFO) conference proceedings and grey literature were searched for relevant studies in April 2018. A combination of MeSH and free-text terms on SEGT and end-of-life were used. Key review processes will be undertaken in duplicate. If appropriate meta-analysis will be considered.ResultsThe search identified unique 2291 citations. Screening these identified 27 potential relevant studies. Following full text review and contact with the authors of not-available full text papers five RCTs on SEGT met our inclusion criteria.ConclusionsThis review is at data extraction phase it will be completed by September. Further understanding of the quality of evidence impact of SEGT on health-related outcomes and social support will allow conclusion to be made for clinical practice.References.
