Abstract
Emotional syndromes of depression and anxiety are common among palliative care patients. This pilot study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of using a brief psychological treatment (problem-solving therapy) to treat these syndromes in patients receiving palliative care. Results were encouraging, particularly as regards acceptability to patients. Problems encountered during the study are discussed in the context of planning future research into the efficacy of treatments for emotional disorders in palliative care.
