  This volume presents a family?focused, culturally sensitive, and systems?coordinated approach for the provision of effective service delivery and care to HIV/AIDS children and their families. It offers a conceptual framework that orients the service provider to the medical, cultural, psychosocial, and mental health needs of HIV?infected infants, children, and adolescents, as well as their infected and noninfected families and caretakers. Providing the most up?to?date knowledge available along with numerous case examples, the editors integrate medical, social, school, community, and legal concerns. This book will be of interest to psychologists, social workers, nurses, counselors, medical practitioners and school personnel and will serve as an advanced text for family therapy, psychology, psychiatry, social work, and public health courses.
