Psycho-Oncology: The Psychological, Social and Behavioral Aspects of the Cancer Journey | Dr. Beatrice Rabkin, MD

Dr. Rabkin is a psychiatrist practicing with CalPsychiatry. She is a board-certified general psychiatrist, working with a variety of patients in her outpatient practice. While she specializes in medication management, she uses a multimodal approach with clients that draws upon psychotherapy, mindfulness work, Yoga psychology, and other integrative practices.

Today we talk about our shared specialty of psycho-oncology. We talk about the interplay between the biological, psychological and social factors that occur during the diagnosis, treatment and post-treatment phases in one’s cancer journey. We also talk about the impact that this has on the family system and how cancer not only effects the individual, but their family and loved ones as well.
