AIDS

Intervening with Hidden Grievers

av Barbara O Dane, Mark Miller, Larisa Miller
Inbunden,  Engelska, 1992-12-01

Slutsåld

AIDS and the deaths resulting from the disease impact increasingly large numbers of individuals and families. The survivors often mourn confused and alone. For the first time, this authoritative, sensitive work offers not only necessary recognition of the needs of the bereaved but also affords clinicians and counselors well founded recommendations for appropriate interventions. The stigma so often associated with AIDS and the obstacles and reactions it occasions for survivors is thoroughly examined and methods of responding are given. Dane and Miller, in describing theories of grief and bereavement and in offering a remarkably clear treatment of the AIDS crisis and its import, establish a context for discussing the reactions and intervention needs of subsets of survivors - children, adolescents, women, families, lovers, and others. Short case studies vividly illustrate the grief, feelings of guilt, sense of loss, and other reactions requiring understanding and counsel. The examples allow the authors to explore the important distinctions and principles essential to caring, constructive support.

?Much has been written on the prevention of HIV transmission and care of the sick and dying. More is being said about the role of caregivers as they work with those who are terminally ill. Unfortunately little is written about the grieving process that goes on after a loved one has died. This is what this book is about. . . . Each of the chapters is well written and provides a wealth of information on how to cope with the grieving process. The chapter that covers families of homosexual and bisexual men is especially well written. . . . This would be a highly recommended book for public, medical, and academic libraries.?-AIDS Book Review Journal
