Overview

Psychological treatments seek to support changes in patients's lives. Normally, they get better and move on with their lives. The time line is often different in dealing with the medically ill, including those with HIV. While making progress psychologically, patients may become more physically dependent. Divided into 3 parts, this book presents information and clinical material in a range of topics to support psychologically informed treatment of individuals who are HIV-positive. Each chapter proposes techniques and methods to address different concerns commonly encountered with this population. In addition, case studies are provided throughout.
