A terapia cognitivo–comportamental é um processo de aprendizagem em que terapeuta e cliente se propõem a analisar a função dos pensamentos e comportamentos inadequados, com o intuito de promover mudanças emocionais e comportamentais duradouras. A intervenção psicoterápica em mulheres com câncer de mama na abordagem cognitivo-comportamental se destaca por ser breve, estruturada, educativa e orientada para problemas atuais de vida do usuário. O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar sentimentos existentes durante o diagnóstico e tratamento do câncer de mama. Trata-se de um relato de caso de uma paciente com diagnóstico de câncer de mama, em tratamento quimioterápico e radioterápico. Os dados foram coletados e interpretados durante o processo terapêutico, apoiado no referencial da terapia cognitivo–comportamental. Os resultados obtidos no processo terapêutico mostraram sentimentos como: medo, insegurança e a expectativa de enfrentamento do câncer de mama. Concluiu-se que uma das possibilidades de intervenção psicológica é o fortalecimento da autoestima da paciente, uma vez que, durante a terapia cognitivo–comportamental, foram propostas tarefas à paciente para desenvolver estratégias de enfrentamento após o diagnóstico e tratamento do câncer de mama. O apoio psicoterápico possibilitou o enfrentamento de situações de incertezas relacionadas ao tratamento e do medo da recidiva da doença.   THE CURRENT SCENARIO FOR WOMAN UNDER BREAST CANCER TREATMENT: CASE REPORT   ABSTRACT Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a learning process in which the therapist and patient agree with analyzing inappropriate thoughts and behavioral functions; it aims at promoting long-term emotional and behavioral changes.  The physiotherapeutic intervention by using a cognitive-behavioral approach for women with breast cancer draws attention because it is brief, framed, educational, and guided to current issues from the customer's life. The present paper aims to identify feelings that are present during the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. It is a case report from a patient diagnosed with breast cancer, under chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Data was collected and interpreted during the therapeutic process, and supported by cognitive-behavioral framework therapy. The results of the therapeutic treatment revealed feelings such as fear, uncertainty, and expectation for tackling breast cancer. It was concluded that one of the possibilities for psychological intervention is to strengthen the patient’s self-esteem, to the extent that during behavioral cognitive therapy, the patient was told to complete some tasks in order to develop confronting strategies after breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The psychotherapeutic support enabled the patient to deal with uncertainty conditions regarding the treatment as well as the fear of the disease recurrence.    Descriptors:  Breast Cancer, Cognitive-behavioral Therapy.

A insônia é uma queixa frequente em pacientes com câncer de mama, e suas consequências podem causar impacto na qualidade de vida e no curso da doença. O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar a literatura especializada sobre a relação entre insônia e câncer de mama, abordando definição, prevalência, fatores etiológicos e as consequências da insônia no contexto da neoplasia mamária, bem como os tratamentos para insônia nessa população. A busca da literatura ocorreu nos bancos de dados Scopus, Web of Science e SciELO, utilizando as palavras chaves: insomnia, sleep, breast cancer, treatment, cognitive-behavioral therapy. Os estudos revisados demonstraram que a etiologia da insônia envolve fatores de predisposição, precipitação e perpetuação. Evidencia-se a importância da melhora na qualidade de sono em pacientes oncológicos, além de se indicar a combinação de terapia farmacológica e cognitivocomportamental no tratamento dos problemas de sono.

A randomized clinical trial tested the hypothesis that a flexible, case formulation–based, individual treatment approach integrating motivational interviewing strategies with cognitive-behavioral therapy (ICBT) is more efficacious than a standardized group cognitive-behavioral approach (GCBT) for perpetrators of intimate partner violence (IPV). Forty-two men presenting for services at a community domestic violence agency were randomized to receive 20 sessions of ICBT or a 20-week group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) program. Participants and their relationship partners completed assessments of relationship abuse and relationship functioning at baseline and quarterly follow-ups for 1 year. Treatment uptake and session attendance were significantly higher in ICBT than GCBT. However, contrary to the study hypothesis, GCBT produced consistently equivalent or greater benefits than ICBT. Participant self-reports revealed significant reductions in abusive behavior and injuries across conditions with no differential benefits between conditions. Victim partner reports revealed more favorable outcomes for group treatment, including a statistically significant difference in psychological aggression, and differences exceeding a medium effect size for physical assault, emotional abuse, and partner relationship adjustment. In response to hypothetical relationship scenarios, GCBT was associated with greater reductions than ICBT (exceeding a medium effect) in articulated cognitive distortions and aggressive intentions. Treatment competence ratings suggest that flexible, individualized administration of CBT creates challenges in session agenda setting, homework implementation, and formal aspects of relationship skills training. Although caution is needed in generalizing findings from this small-scale trial, the results suggest that the mutual support and positive social influence available in group intervention may be particularly helpful for IPV perpetrators.
