Stage 1 Clinical Management
The group will receive clinical management treatment only each session. Clinical Management: Clinical management is a clear contrast method of psychological therapy, which is a half-structured interview and lasting for 20-25 minutes each session. Clinical management will be assigned to both experimental group and controlled group in the first stage of intervention. Following are major elements: Talk to the subjects to find their main problems; introduce knowledge and medication knowledge about cancer and depression; subjects reporting use of drugs for cancer and depression and a variety of signs and symptoms of the reaction. Encourage patients to adhere to drug treatment and to comply with this research program; The operation of CBT and clinical management should be conducted by the same person as far as possible.
Stage 1 CBT
The experimental group will receive CBT each session. CBT: The subjects will receive standardized CBT treatment regularly for 9 sessions(once per week in the first month and once half a month in the second and third months), and each session will last for about 60 minutes.The treatment includes three steps:Concept stage (the first and second sessions): establishment of therapeutic relationships with the subjects; Skills acquisition and repeat stage (the third session to the 8th session): clarification of sources of stress, patients' cognitive and behavioral response to stress. Application and complete price segment (the 9th session): return visit to test efficacy of psychological intervention.
Stage 1 Control Group
Participants with breast cancer in the control group received standard medical care, but don't receive any other interventions.
