Objective: To describe and illustrate elements of a group counselling approach designed to enhance the communication of risk information on breast cancer (BC) to women with a family history of this disease. Breast cancer is a leading cause of female cancer death. The most important risk factor for BC is a positive family history in at least 1 first-degree relative, and approximately one-third of women with BC have a family history of the disease. Recent evidence suggests that there is a significant psychological impact associated with having a family history of BC, and this may influence the psychological adjustment and response to being counselled for personal risk. New counselling approaches are required. Method: This paper describes a group therapy approach that incorporates principles of supportive-expressive therapy designed to address the emotional impact of being at risk for BC and to promote accuracy of perceived risk. The key elements of the intervention are described along with clinical illustrations from groups that are part of an ongoing study to develop and standardize the group therapy. Conclusion: Qualitative data from the groups suggest that this model of therapy is both feasible and effective.

The following is a synthesis of the literature focused on ways of supporting healthy grieving in children and a related children’s book based on the findings. I have produced a book on grieving that is intended to be used by caregivers and educators to support bereaved children. The support strategies that are discussed here and reflected in the book Dragonfly Dance include ideas from traditional therapeutic approaches, expressive arts, pet therapy, grief camps, adventure therapy, and group therapy. The tasks of grieving are also described through selected literature. Dragonfly Dance incorporates many of the known activities that support transition through grief.
