Psychological Care for Cancer Patients: New Perspectives on Training Health Professionals is an innovative work in psychosocial oncology which examines the role of creative expression in the psychological treatment of cancer patients. After having spent five decades in this field, Domenico Arturo Nesci has become a proponent of treatment that values patients as creatives and valiant fighters rather than objects of an ambivalent compassion. This book analyzes this intersection of psychology, the humanities, medicine, and social work through scholarship conceived to help all people whose lives are crossed by cancer: patients, relatives, caregivers, health professionals, and students.

Revisiting Jonestown: An Interdisciplinary Study of Cults examines the Jonestown massacre to reveal a new understanding of vital issues concerning cults, such as the origins of human awareness, religion, and death rituals, including collective suicide, genocide, and war.

Multimedia Psychotherapy: A Psychodynamic Approach for Mourning in the Technological Age is a complete manual to let all health professionals learn Multimedia Psychotherapy and apply it with their own patients. Excerpts from sessions are quoted to describe each step of the therapy: from intake to outcome through the "picture sessions," "music session," and "screening session" where patient and therapist watch the "psychodynamic montage" together. A new supervision model (the Clinic and Dreams Workshop) and a training group experience in Multimedia Psychotherapy are also described.
