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.
