Synopsis

This volume, first released in 1996, was written to provide mental health professionals with a single source of information on the medical, social and psychological aspects of HIV-AIDS. It remains the only authored book concerning the psychology of AIDS that is thoroughly grounded in the empirical literature. With this extensively revised second edition, author Seth C. Kalichman explains the many significant advances in research on how the virus works and on immune responses to HIV, and he discusses the revolutionary treatments for HIV infection that have increased both life-span and quality of life for increasingly large numbers of patients living with HIV-positive and AIDS diagnoses. Kalichman also focuses impressive attention on new insights regarding psychological reactions to HIV-AIDS, coping and adjusting, and psychological treatments as well as slowly growing literature on women, children and minorities with AIDS and on sexual adjustment after diagnosis.
