Abstract: Firstly, I wish to express my very sincere gratitude to the men who participated and without whose frank and honest discussions this research project would not have been possible. I thank them for trusting me with the very personal and normally private details of their lives and relationships. I would like to extend special thanks and gratitude to my primary supervisor, Dr. Ilona Juraskova from the Faculty of Science, School of Psychology who put in endless hours of work to help me conduct the research, edit, revise, and create the final product. I sincerely appreciate her guidance, enthusiasm for the project and moral support in what was unfamiliar territory for me; she encouraged me to believe I was capable of producing an important work in the field of prostate cancer patient care and without her amazing support on so many levels this thesis would not have been completed. My thanks also to Ms Jessica Medd, Clinical Psychologist, Urology Department, Concord Repatriation and General Hospital, for her insight and advice and to Ms Trish Mark for her editorial assistance. I would also like to thank Dr Patricia Weerakoon from the Faculty of Health Sciences for encouraging me to undertake the Masters degree and for her support over the last 4 years.
