Abstract

Prostate cancer is one of the highest cancer killers of men. Understanding the diagnosis, and subsequently deciding which treatment to have can be difficult for some men. Side-effects of treatment can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. These factors on their own create complexities in relationships but to complicate matters further, prostate cancer often occurs at a time when the female partners of heterosexual patients have gone through, or are going through menopause. These complications are both physical and emotional, impacting the individuals independently as well as the dynamics of the couple. In this paper we look at a case study of a couple who are in this position. An adaptation of Harry Procter’s PEG (Perceiver Element Grid) was used to look at how the male and female partners see themselves and each other, as well as their relationship.

中年危机:前列腺癌和更年期对关系的影响

摘要

前列腺癌是男性最高的癌症杀手之一。对于某些男性来说,了解诊断并随后决定接受哪种治疗可能很困难。治疗的副作用可能令人尴尬和不舒服。这些因素本身会造成关系的复杂性,但更复杂的是,前列腺癌通常发生在异性恋患者的女性伴侣已经经历或正在经历更年期的时候。这些并发症既有身体上的,也有情感上的,独立地影响个人以及夫妻的动态。在本文中,我们研究了一对处于这个位置的夫妇的案例研究。Harry Procter 的 PEG(感知器元素网格)的改编版用于研究男性和女性伴侣如何看待自己和彼此以及他们的关系。
