Brief Summary:
This trial studies whether a form of psychotherapy called accelerated resolution therapy can help with cancer distress and psychological trauma. Accelerated resolution therapy is an evidence-based therapy for the treatment of depressive symptoms, trauma, and stress-related disorders. This study may provide evidence to support integration of accelerated resolution therapy into psychological treatment of cancer patients, which may decrease cancer related trauma and distress.
Detailed Description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Calculate changes, and estimate mean changes, in primary outcomes of psychological trauma and cancer distress over a six week time period while receiving weekly accelerated resolution therapy (ART).
II. Calculate changes, and estimate mean changes, in secondary outcomes of anxiety and depression over a six week period while receiving weekly ART.
III. Will use a qualitative, descriptive design to explore contextual elements of the cancer experience that are consistently distressing and/or psychologically traumatic to more fully inform a future RCT testing in ART in cancer distress and psychological trauma.
IV. Calculate changes, and estimate mean changes, in secondary outcomes of resilience and symptom distress over a six week period while receiving weekly ART.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo ART over 60-90 minutes once a week for up to 5 sessions.
After completion of study intervention, patients are followed up at 1 week and again at 1 month.
