Children, Families, and HIV/AIDS: Psychosocial and Therapeutic Issues
by Nancy Boyd-Franklin Ph.D.

The 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. Called the Multisystems HIV/AIDS Model, 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; mothers and other relatives who are also infected with HIV/AIDS; and uninfected but nonetheless affected family members and other caretakers. |
