“…Especially amongst men, it was cited that they found they did need counseling, even if they had not realized that before the intervention; this discovery of need for mental health services after engagement amongst male cancer survivors is common (Berglund et al, 2003). The SGP helped them cope with their experiences through the psychological exercises while sharing individual stories.…”

“…When male cancer survivors do participate in psychological support services, they identify valuable components as being the information presented on their medical and health outcomes and the provision of stress management techniques (Berglund, Petersson, Eriksson, & Häggman, 2003;Boudioni et al, 2001;Chambers, Pinnock, Lepore, Hughes & O'Connell, 2011;Sherman et al, 2007). Some studies indicate that more stereotypical counseling areas are rated ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 4 lower in importance and preference or are avoided by men altogether (Berglund et al, 2003;Boudioni et al, 2001;Sherman et al, 2007).…”

This has been attributed to a common male view that sharing emotions is uncomfortable and undermines their masculinity (Roth, Weinberger & Nelson, 2008).…”

“…One goal of the pilot study was to examine if prostate cancer survivors would participate in a combined exercise and counseling intervention. It was hypothesized that combining the modes (exercise and counseling) would facilitate acceptance of and participation in the counseling portion of the intervention, thus addressing the problem of disengagement of male cancer survivors with psychological counseling described in the literature (Berglund et al, 2003;Boudioni et al, 2001;Sherman et al, 2007). Prostate cancer survivors were chosen as they represent a similarly large proportion of the population of male-specific cancers as breast cancer survivors do for females (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare & Australasian Association of Cancer Registries, 2010).…”

This study qualitatively examined an 8 week group exercise and counseling intervention for breast and prostate cancer survivors. Groups exercised 3 days per week, 50 minutes per session, performing moderate intensity aerobic and resistance training. Groups also underwent 90 minute supportive group psychotherapy sessions once per week. Survivors discussed their experiences in focus groups post intervention. Transcripts were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological

“…When asked, patients with cancer are typically satisfied with what psychological interventions have to offer (Petersson, Berglund, Brodin, Glimelius, & Sjoden, 2000;Manne et al, 2007). More specific questions have found that, among interventions that included relaxation, it was the component rated as most helpful; also highly rated has been provision of information about cancer, treatments, and side effects (Berglund, Petersson, Eriksson, & Haggman, 2003;Petersson et al, 2000).According to Yalom (1995), the single most important component of effective group therapy is cohesion-the bonding, collaborative, working alliance among members (Burlingame, Fuhrimarn, & Johnson, 2002). In psychotherapy, the effects of cohesion are robust, and it is positively associated with attendance and involvement (Marmarosh, Holtz, & Schottenbauer, 2005;McCallum, Piper, Ogrodniczuk, & Joyce, 2002).…”

Little is known about the therapeutic processes contributing to efficacy of psychological interventions for patients with cancer. Data from a randomized clinical trial yielding robust biobehavioral and health effects (B. L. Andersen et al., 2004Andersen et al., , 2007 were used to examine associations between process variables, treatment utilization, and outcomes. Novel findings emerged. Patients were highly satisfied with the treatment, but their higher levels of felt support (group cohesion) covaried with lower distress and fewer symptoms. Also, specific. treatment strategies were associated with specific outcomes, including lower distress, improved dietary habits, reduced symptomatology, and higher chemotherapy dose intensity. These data provide a comprehensive test of multiple therapeutic processes and mechanisms for biobehavioral change with an intervention including both intensive and maintenance phases. Keywordsprocess; therapy; cancer; compliance; dose intensity Psychological interventions for patients with cancer are largely effective in reducing the many burdens and sequelae of the disease and treatment. Interventions can improve emotional adjustment and quality of life, with selected demonstrations of positive health and immune outcomes (Andersen, 2002;Meyer & Mark, 1995). Despite this, little is known about the therapeutic events or processes that lead to or are responsible for therapeutic change and the durability of such change. Kazdin (2006) noted that evaluating mechanisms is important for many reasons. Data on mechanisms can bring order to the variety of treatments available, provide explanations of the broad effects of therapy, enhance translation of treatments to clinical practice, assist in the identification of treatment moderators, and facilitate understanding of therapeutic change. We discuss the influence of process variablessatisfaction with the treatment and feelings of cohesion-and the relationship between utilization of intervention techniques and treatment outcomes. Necessarily, we also draw on the psychotherapy outcome research literature.Patient satisfaction with treatment is a singularly important goal, but it may also be important because it is influential to patients' involvement intreatment (Dearing, Barrick, Dermen, & Walitzer, 2005) and, in turn, treatment efficacy. For group psychotherapy patients, treatment satisfaction has been associated with willingness to participate (Perrone & Sedlacek, 2000). It is important to note that studies with both psychotherapy and primary care outpatients have identified associations between satisfaction and adherence, including appointment keeping (Dearing et al., 2005), compliance with treatment recommendations (Hirsh et al., 2005), and medication use (Barfod et al., 2005). When asked, patients with cancer are typically satisfied with what psychological interventions have to offer (Petersson, Berglund, Brodin, Glimelius, & Sjoden, 2000;Manne et al., 2007). More specific questions have found that, among interventions that includ...
