The dimension of the holines in context of psychotherapy of anxiety in cancer disease
Manolescu, Iulia, Mobilmed Foundation, Bucarest, Romania

Anxiety-definite by P. Janet as diffuse fear ‘‘without object’’, expressed as inner nervousness, with a complex vegetative-nervous reaction, invade our soul in extreme situations of our lives. The cancer disease is such an extreme situation which patient confronts, as the posibility to lose his life-this concret and known thing. The anxiety, panic, depression are almost permanent states: the expectation of death without rescue casts the patient in despair’s slough. The sense of life and death becomes the goal of that search to pass the fears of the patients’ lonlies days and nights. Questions like: ‘‘Does life have a meaning, a sense?’’, ‘‘Which is that?’’, ‘‘I¨s death an end?’’, ‘‘I¨ s God a reality or just a myth?’’ are frequent. The tone of patient’s voice is sometimes indignant, sometimes full of fury, sometimes desperate . . . MOBILMED team tried to fiind a way to settle the patient with the world, with himself, his deeper wound, with the idea of his own death. We tried to extend the cognitive patient’s search towards a new perceptive frame, to understanding the idea of absolut, of holines which comprise and is comprised by daily routine. The understanding and the accepting of this idea allowed the patients to accept their own perishables and to stated in a certain context: ‘‘yes, that is what I understood and what I done, but it is possible to be another dimension of my existence and I can quietly, probably I will not be alone’’. In this way, one of our patient, had told us, smiling, two days before he died, ‘‘now I am really curious to fiind out what is it ’’. After his death, her daugther told us that among his last thoughts had been that about our helping, when nothing else, no treatment, no medecine could help him.
