Intimacy and relationship processes in couples' psychosocial adaptation to cancer
Overview
This paper introduces the relationship intimacy model, which posits that marital closeness significantly influences how patients and partners adapt psychologically to cancer. It describes a preliminary study of an intimacy-enhancing intervention for breast cancer patients and their partners, noting improvements in perceived closeness and reduced distress among participants who completed the program. The resource outlines the theoretical framework and discusses limitations and future research directions for clinicians and researchers.
