The impact of a psychological intervention on quality of life in non-metastatic breast cancer . The aim of this study was to determine whether psychological intervention had a beneficial effect on the quality of life and behaviour of women diagnosed with breast cancer . 36 consecutive patients with non-metastatic breast cancer assigned to surgery and systemic chemotherapy were randomised to receive either psychological intervention ( weekly cognitive individual psychotherapy and bimonthly family counselling ) or standard follow-up . Personality ( 16-PF and IIQ ) , quality of life ( FLIC ) , and depression ( BDI ) scores were the endpoints for this study , and the questionnaires were completed by the patients at diagnosis , and up to 9 months after diagnosis . Cognitive psychotherapy and family counselling improved both depression and quality of life indexes compared with the control group . Better emotional coping behaviours were also revealed by some changes in personality traits in the intervention group .
