Description
"For professional hospital workers, volunteer caregivers, or those caring for someone with AIDS or ARC by virtue of a personal relationship, this handbook offers an immensely useful compilation of materials originally developed by the AIDS Project of the Oak Lawn Counseling Center in Dallas, Texas. Originally published in 1988 to universal acclaim, this volume has become established as the practical and necessary guide for caregivers. Now completely updated and revised and including new show more chapters on "Women and AIDS," "The HIV-Infected Child," and "Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and AIDS," it remains an immensely useful compilation for anyone caring for someone with AIDS and ARC." "With information that is equally valid for hospital staff members with responsibilities on an AIDS ward, and for a friend, mother, or lover taking care of an afflicted individual, this easily referenced and read book, more akin to a first-aid manual than a textbook, tells any caregiver what they must know."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
