Psychological Perspectives in HIV Care : An Inter-Professional Approach Hardback
Edited by Michelle (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK) Croston, Sarah Rutter
Hardback
Description
The care paradigm for people with HIV has shifted from managing progressive illness with a poor prognosis to managing a chronic condition.
Despite this improvement, people living with HIV continue to experience considerable stresses, so promoting their holistic wellbeing is a key aspect of long-term care.
This book provides an accessible introduction for healthcare professionals who work with people living with HIV.
It is designed to help readers understand how care in practice can be more person-centred and psychologically focused, whilst promoting compassion, health and wellbeing.
Topics covered include self-awareness, attachment theories and communication as well as key aspects of providing care for people living with HIV, such as stigma in young adults, neurocognitive issues, the sexualized use of drugs, managing neuropathic pain, and the needs of older adults living with HIV. Invaluable reading for health professionals working within multidisciplinary teams that provide care for people living with HIV, this book is also a core text for those studying in the area.
