Abstract
The incidence of cancer among children in the United States has been estimated at approximately 8,400 new cases yearly (American Cancer Society, 1999). The diagnosis of cancer is difficult; adolescence in particular is a vulnerable time in life characterized by struggles over identity, independence and intimacy. Parents cope with the diagnosis of their child differently. The ways in which parents cope can affect the development of the adolescent. The practitioner working with these families must have a broad knowledge base of understanding families, their responses and coping for interventions to be successful.
