HYPNOSIS AND PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH HIV, ARC, AND AIDS PATIENTS

Journal Title: Psychiatria i Psychoterapia - Year 2005, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

Abstract Between the time of having become infected by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and dying from AIDS, patients pass through different physical and psychological states. A simplified distinction reveals three types of patients: seropositive, AIDS-related complex (ARC), and AIDS patients. Each of these groups need different psychotherapeutic treatment and support. The necessary coping strategies of these patients groups differ from the usual population in need of psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy is useful at all stages. The therapeutic implications are supported by relevant findings in psychoneuroimmunology, AIDS research and coping research. Two patient protocols and one case description are included for illustrative purposes.
