Book Synopsis AIDS and People with Severe Mental Illness by : Francine Cournos
Book excerpt: While HIV spreads among people with severe mental illness for the same reasons it does in the general population, there are specific ways in which mental illness is associated with elevated HIV risk. Every mental health institution programme now has to deal with the consequences of increased HIV rates. AIDS and People with Severe Mental Illness covers the range of information for those who deal with these patients: epidemiological, medical, psychological, legal, ethical and policy issues are all examined by authorities in those areas.
