Epidemiology & medical statistics; HIV & AIDS; Psychiatry

This volume presents a systems approach to understanding and managing the AIDS crisis - an approach that addresses the needs not only of HIV-infected individuals, but also of families and communities at risk from AIDS. Discussions are included on HIV epidemiology and risk reduction, medical management of the AIDS patient, and neuropsychiatric aspects of HIV infection. Strategies for psychotherapeutic intervention, from individual through group to extended family system, are described in detail. The authors examine spiritual, religious and cultural factors in communities and offer guidelines for building a community network for AIDS prevention and intervention. Full consideration is also given to ethical and policy issues, and to the risks faced by health care providers.

Reviews for AIDS, Health, And Mental Health: A Primary Sourcebook

I read Sky Burial in one sitting, not being able to wait to get to the end of the tale. I've read love stories before, but none like this. One could only wish to be loved so, or, even better, to love so. --Da Chen A romantic epic of loss and redemption, of stoic constancy in the face of the vagaries of fate. -- Financial Times Part family story, part mystical adventure. It's like Wild Swans crossed with Seven Years in Tibet --Giles Foden, The Guardian This story of one extraordinary woman written by another extraordinary woman will stay with you long after closing the book. -- Sunday Times
