History of AIDS psychiatry: a biopsychosocial approach-paradigm and paradox -- HIV/AIDS at 25: history, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment -- Psychoneuroimmunology and HIV -- Epidemiology of psychiatric disorders associated with HIV and AIDS -- Sociocultural factors influencing the transmission of HIV/AIDS in the United States: AIDS and the nation's prisons -- A biopsychosocial approach to psychiatric consultation in persons with HIV and AIDS -- Neuropsychological evaluation -- Substance use disorders-the special role in HIV transmission -- Mood disorders -- HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders -- Anxiety disorders -- Psychotic disorders and severe mental illness -- The role of personality in HIV risk behaviors: implications for treatment -- Distress in persons with HIV and AIDS -- Insomnia and HIV: a biopsychosocial approach -- Fatigue and HIV -- Unique manifestations of HIV-associated dementia -- Suicide -- HIV and the central nervous system -- Neurological complications of HIV in the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system -- The role of psychiatric disorders in HIV transmission and prevention -- Psychiatric aspects of adherence to medical care and treatment for HIV/AIDS -- Homelessness and HIV risk and prevention -- Childhood and adolescence -- Young adulthood and serodiscordant couples -- Older age and HIV infection -- Psychiatric interventions -- Social service interventions -- Nursing support -- Palliative and spiritual care of persons with HIV and AIDS -- Special settings: psychiatric facilities, nursing homes, correctional facilities, and homeless outreach -- Psychopharmacologic treatment issues in AIDS psychiatry -- Hepatitis C and HIV coinfection -- HIV-associated nephropathy, end-stage renal disease, dialysis, and kidney transplant -- Endocrine comorbidities in persons with HIV -- Lipodystrophy, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular disorders in persons with HIV -- Overview of HIV-associated comorbidities -- Burnout, occupational hazards, and health care workers with HIV -- End-of-life issues -- Ethical issues, advance directives, and surrogate decision-making -- Health services and policy issues in AIDS psychiatry.
Summary: Among the vast and rapidly growing field of AIDS research, there is an ample body of evidence supporting the fact that psychiatric treatment can decrease transmission, diminish suffering, improve adherence, and decrease morbidity and mortality. There is probably no other illness in which the connections between mind and body are so inextricably woven. But until now there has been no comprehensive textbook of AIDS psychiatry to guide clinicians towards providing much needed care. Using a biopsychosocial approach, this 41-chapter volume offers insight into the interface between the psychiatric.
