In addition to placing the disease and its manifestations in a broad epidemiological and psychosocial context, they and their collaborators have constructed a well crafted approach to developing a multidisciplinary approach to the care of infants, children, adolescents, women, and families. From the supportive care of individuals to the development of support groups for children or careproviders, the authors offer guidance based on models that have worked. Family-centered care is important for optimal health care. Although it is a necessity for children with AIDS, the principles of family-centered care are applicable to many other diseases and the principles offered in Children, Families and HIV/AIDS: Psychosocial and Psychotherapeutic Issues are relevant to all who care for children with serious disease. --Philip A. Pizzo, MD, Chief of Pediatrics, Head, Infectious Disease Section, National Cancer Institute, Professor of Pediatrics, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences <br> This book is another important addition to the growing but still young body of literature about children
