ReviewEmotional disclosure in palliative care: A scoping review of intervention characteristics and implementation factors.
Emotional disclosure is the therapeutic expression of emotion. It holds potential as a means of providing psychological support. However, evidence of its efficacy in palliative settings is mixed.
