ANNE BREDART

Anne Brédart is a doctor of medical psychology. She carries out research in the field of psycho-oncology. Her focus is on the psychological and interpersonal impact of cancer and cancer treatments, the psychological factors that hinder or promote psychological adaptation to the disease and its treatment, and the development and evaluation of psychosocial interventions in oncology.
