Group therapy with cardiac patients is a relatively new specialty. The field is supported by a substantial epidemiological and experimental literature demonstrating links between heart and mind. There are several clinical trials that have demonstrated less morbidity, improved quality of life, and, to some extent, lower mortality for patients who have received psychosocial intervention, generally group therapy, compared to control patients. Different theoretical orientations and a small number of clinical techniques have been developed to help cardiac patients make an adjustment to heart-healthy living. This article provides a brief review of the literature in cardiac psychology, suggestions for developing a psychotherapy practice specialty with cardiac patients, techniques for treating these patients, and conclusions by a psychologist-cardiologist team that has been active in this area for more than a decade.
