| Summary |
"Previous books on this subject - mostly written in the days when HIV/AIDS was considered a fatal rather than a chronic disease - focused on end-of-life issues. This volume, however, addresses the unique emotional challenges facing couples of mixed HIV status today. It provides examples of how to apply emotionally focused couple therapy to help them work through issues including disclosure, the fear of HIV transmission, shifts in emotional intimacy, family planning, betrayal, mistrust, and uncertainty. The book is generously illustrated with tables that make complex research results easy to access and understand."--Jacket. |
