- Summary:
- This book was written to provide mental health professionals with a single source of information on the medical, social, and psychological aspects of HIV-AIDS. It covers a broad range of topics concerning the psychology of AIDS that is thoroughly grounded in the empirical literature. The author 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 span and quality of life for increasingly large numbers of patients living with HIV-positive and AIDS diagnoses. Kalichman also focuses attention on the growth in knowledge about such issues as psychological reactions to HIV-AIDS, coping and adjustment, and psychological treatments. Coverage includes the slowly growing literature on women, children, and minorities with AIDS and on sexual adjustment after diagnosis. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
