Description
As the numbers of reported AIDS cases continue to climb, and this disease continues to take more and more lives, those who have to deal with the complexities of this problem continue to ask: "How do we care for these terminally ill?" Using letters from patients, ques- tions and answers between patient and doctor, and other compas- sionate tools, Dr. Elisabeth Kรผbler-Ross, the world's foremost expert on death and dying, shows us how to comfort the seriously ill, and help AIDS patients through the critical "stages of dying." She addresses the stigma surrounding AIDS as a "gay disease," and makes a special plea for prisoners with AIDS, for women and chil- dren with AIDS, and for babies with AIDS. This is a remarkable book, which is warm and informative on one of the most important subjects of our times.ISBN:9780020891437
