About the Book

This hands?on book guides professionals involved in HIV prevention in the lifesaving task of helping people learn the technical, cognitive, and interpersonal skills that are necessary for significant behavior change and reduced risk for HIV infection. Filled with real?life examples and supplemented by informative tables, skills assessments, role plays, and suggested client assignments, the book describes settings in which HIV?prevention programs can be conducted, how HIV prevention can be integrated into the services of community programs, and the nature and format of individual and group interventions. Throughout, the author stresses the importance of tailoring interventions to the cultural, risk factor, social, relationship, and lifestyle issues pertaining to different populations, as well as to individual needs. This book will be of interest to professionals in mental health and counseling, substance abuse treatment, the social and health care services, public health, and the HIV/AIDS prevention field.

Review :
'An outstanding guide for clinicians, counselors, and educators. Dr. Kelly's comprehensive approach explains both the art and the science of HIV risk reduction, from the small scale of an individual counseling session to the larger process of changing social norms. In both theory and practice, Kelly helps counselors adapt strategies to fit clients and communities. This is by far the most readable, practical--and hopeful--text available' - Richard P. Keeling, MD '...This book provides, in approximately 150 pages, the essential details that practitioners need to integrate a high level of sophistication regarding HIV-risk assessment and reduction into clinical practive, regardless of their setting, clientele, or discipline...Should be required reading in all training programs devoted to training in sexual and marital therapy...' - Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy 'This book, with chapters on intervention settings, risk assessment, self management skills, and sexual assertiveness training, outlines a set of procedures that practitioners can use in changing HIV risk behavior in diverse client populations. The book contains numerous case examples and informative tables that may be reproduced.' - Journal of Social Work Education 'There is a great deal to digest in this book for counselors and for those who want to change their behavior. It is well written, providing much sound advice....A highly recommended book for all sex and drug counselors and a necessary book for all medical and academic libraries.' - AIDS Book Review Journal (#23 Jan. 1996)
