In this course, registrants will explore the issues involved in living day-to-day with HIV or AIDS, the impact that the illness has on relationships, work, families, couples, health, spirituality, and the therapeutic relationship. Therapeutic interventions and strategies in working with HIV-infected clients are examined. In addition to providing information, the course provides brief stories and testimonials from HIV-positive individuals as well as case vignettes to apply theory to practice.
