Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2013/Emotion and cancer diagnosis

Comments
Hi, I was thinking it might be useful to include either a link to, or information on the five stages of grief? --Janed1987 (discuss • contribs) 09:56, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Chapter draft feedback
Any suggestions on how to improve this chapter?

Great to see the excellent progress on this draft chapter during the first half of semester - congratulations. Here's some suggestions - feel free to take, leave or discuss any of them: I hope this helps. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:05, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) The overall structure is excellent.
 * 2) The style is well-written, easy to read, and draws on peer-reviewed research.
 * 3) Perhaps some more can be said about the initial emotional reactions to a diagnosis e.g., shock.
 * 4) The section on adolescents is excellent. Does this also apply to children - or should there be a separate section for children?
 * 5) Perhaps try to incorporate some more about emotion theory/ies.
 * 6) The content about coping styles is useful.
 * 7) Wiki links can be made from key concepts to other chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
 * 8) Maybe one or two case study examples could help - e.g., one person who responded adapatively and another who coped poorly with a cancer diagnosis?
 * 9) I made some minor copyediting edits.
 * 10) Check references for APA style

This looks great! Good work! I think I will probably use what you've got so far as a guide for considering my own book chapter :) Really neat layout and organisation of info. Best of luck! PatrickBateman (discuss • contribs) 04:30, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Awesome job Kasperi! You can definitely tell that you put a lot of effort into this. I really like how you did separate sections on men, women and adolescence. I think that provides readers with the real differences that can occur at different ages and different sex, as cancer can effect these groups differently. Great work :)--Maltrep (discuss • contribs) 01:23, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Table captions/attribution
I like the use of tables. The captions have citation(s) which is good. This is a somewhat subtle suggestion - Are the tables adapted from or based on these sources or is the table reproduced from these sources? Usually this would be indicated. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:16, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
