Publisher's Note
The psychological effects of HIV and AIDS have been widely studied, but until now the results of these studies have been scattered in numerous technical journals and it has been difficult for the layperson to access and evaluate them. Michael B. King provides the first concise, critical overview of all currently available information on the psychological, psychiatric, and social effects of HIV and AIDS. He examines fears of the infection, emotional reactions to the diagnosis and persisting psychological disorder, direct effects of HIV on the nervous system, the psychological effects of HIV and AIDS on professional health care workers and informal caregivers, and the effects of HIV-related stress and psychological trauma on the immune system. Special attention is given to the psychological needs of homosexuals in a society biased toward heterosexuality. Filled with straightforward, objective assessments of many controversial issues and important practical advice, AIDS, HIV, and Mental Health will be indispensable for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and providers of primary health care. It will also be extremely useful and accessible to anyone involved in AIDS-related support groups or in caring for a person infected with HIV, as well as for anyone who is infected with the virus. Michael B. King is a member of the British Health Service's Expert Advisory Committee on AIDS and is the editor of Male Victims of Sexual Assault (1992).
This book provides a concise, critical account of the mental health aspects of HIV infection as it affects patients, their partners and families, health professionals and other carers. The author, whose research, teaching and practice are conducted in an academic department of psychiatry, offers a considered and objective overview of the available information on psychological and behavioural aspects of AIDS and HIV, and challenges a number of ill-founded attitudes and opinions.
