| Article/Chapter Title: | Cognitive therapy with a depressed HIV-positive gay man |
| Abstract: | (from the chapter) Clinicians may be increasingly called upon to work with HIV-positive clients. Although cognitive therapy has proven efficacious with a broad range of populations, limited information is available on the application of cognitive therapy to HIV-positive clients. This chapter describes the case of an HIV-positive gay man (aged 34 yrs) seen for cognitive therapy as part of a research protocol. This case was chosen for several reasons: (1) to demonstrate how to address specific HIV related issues in cognitive therapy (e.g., disclosing to family, coping with illness progression), (2) to illustrate how to work with multiple levels of cognitions in a short time period, and (3) to show how to work with long-held beliefs within the context of HIV.
