Participants will then be assigned to receive either MCP-C or SP-C for 7 sessions. Participants will complete additional sets of questionnaires about 2 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after their last session of MCP-C or SP-C. It will take between 35 and 50 minutes to complete each set of questionnaires.After participants complete the MCP-C or SP-C sessions and all 4 sets of questionnaires, their participation in this study will end. If participants decide not to complete all 7 sessions, they may still choose to complete the questionnaires.Participants may remain in the study and continue to receive all 7 sessions of MCP-C or SP-C even if their loved one passes away., conditionsModule conditions: Caregiver Burden, conditions: Caregiver Burnout, conditions: Caregiver Stress Syndrome, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: PHASE3, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: OTHER, maskingInfo masking: NONE, enrollmentInfo count: 200, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy for Caregivers, interventions name: Supportive Psychotherapy for Caregivers, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Number of participants with improved primary outcomes, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: University of Miami (Data Collection AND Data Analysis), status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING, city: Miami, state: Florida, zip: 33136, country: United States, contacts name: Wendy Lichtenthal, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 305-243-8983, geoPoint lat: 25.77427, lon: -80.19366, locations facility: Memorial Sloan Kettering Basking Ridge (Limited Protocol Activities), status: RECRUITING, city: Basking Ridge, state: New Jersey, zip: 07920, country: United States, contacts name: Allison Applebaum, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 646-888-0034, geoPoint lat: 40.70621, lon: -74.54932, locations facility: Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth (Limited protocol activities), status: RECRUITING, city: Middletown, state: New Jersey, zip: 07748, country: United States, contacts name: Allison Applebaum, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 646-888-0034, geoPoint lat: 40.39652, lon: -74.09211, locations facility: Memorial Sloan Kettering Bergen (Limited Protocol Activities), status: RECRUITING, city: Montvale, state: New Jersey, zip: 07645, country: United States, contacts name: Allison Applebaum, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 646-888-0034, geoPoint lat: 41.04676, lon: -74.02292, locations facility: Memorial Sloan Kettering Suffolk-Commack (Limited protocol activity), status: RECRUITING, city: Commack, state: New York, zip: 11725, country: United States, contacts name: Allison Applebaum, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 646-888-0034, geoPoint lat: 40.84288, lon: -73.29289, locations facility: Memorial Sloan Kettering Westchester (Consent only), status: RECRUITING, city: Harrison, state: New York, zip: 10604, country: United States, contacts name: Allison Applebaum, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 646-888-0034, geoPoint lat: 40.96899, lon: -73.71263, locations facility: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, status: RECRUITING, city: New York, state: New York, zip: 10065, country: United States, contacts name: Allison Applebaum, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 646-888-0034, geoPoint lat: 40.71427, lon: -74.00597, locations facility: Memorial Sloan Kettering Nassau (Limited Protocol Activites), status: RECRUITING, city: Rockville Centre, state: New York, zip: 11553, country: United States, contacts name: Allison Applebaum, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: 646-888-0034, geoPoint lat: 40.65871, lon: -73.64124, hasResults: False
