In HIV and Social Work: A Practitioner's Guide, experienced social workers share their practice, wisdom, knowledge, and skills on a broad range of issues. Their words of wisdom will give you the willingness to follow problems through and the flexibility and creativity that are required when dealing with issues concerning HIV/AIDS. At the same time, you will achieve a sense of empowerment and optimism as you realize that there are things you can do—very specific kinds of help you can offer—that can make an enormous difference in the lives of people with HIV/AIDS and those who love and care for them.
