Recenzje

'This is a clearly written book that provides an invaluable, up-to-date summary of what is no longer a new field. ... Some of its insights would ne valuable for professionals working with any group of patients struggling with chronic, life-threatening illnesses. It is well worth buying.' - M. King, Aids Care

'Given the continued (and, in the case of many developing countries, growing) presence of HIV disease, there is a need for a standard referencetext which provides health professionals and caregivers with current information on key issues in mental health and HIV/AIDS. ... The discussions of psychological problems and interventions and psychopharmacological treatments for people with HIV infection are authoriative, comprehensive, and up to date.' - Robert P Watson, The Social Science Journal
