Opis

Myra Hunter and Melanie Smith have developed a pioneering group treatment for women going through the menopause. The evidence-based manual draws on their research which has demonstrated, in randomised controlled trials, that group CBT effectively reduces the impact of hot flushes and night sweats. The treatment is effective for women going through a natural menopause and for women who have had cancer treatment.
