There are also eleven student activity sheets based upon the video.

The author is a clinical professor of psychology and the founder of the Shanti Project, a caregiving project based on a model of nurturance and compassion without judgment. He weaves the first-person accounts with commentaries on the skills to be learned from each individual's story. The caregivers include family members, lovers, friends, volunteers, clergy, nurses, physicians, and mental health and AIDS agency professionals. They talk about the risks and rewards of supporting someone with a chronic or life-threatening illness. They share their ideas about active listening, establishing boundaries, and coping with multiple losses, bereavement overload, and relentless uncertainty. They also touch on effective self-care strategies to avoid burnout and compassion fatigue and discuss how their experiences as caregivers help them discover themselves and deal with their own pain.

ISBN: 0-7879-0107-5. AB This monograph offers a conceptual approach to understanding the nature and progression of HIV infection, particularly from a standpoint of nutrition. Written for those living with HIV and their caretakers, it emphasizes taking control of one's own health through better nutrition. The author, an internist on staff at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco with a private practice specializing in HIV and nutrition, indicates that HIV infection causes changes in nutritional status from its earliest stages. She describes how HIV attacks the body's ability to maintain its core, and emphasizes practical approaches to recognizing, diagnosing, treating, and preventing the causes of wasting in HIV and AIDS. The first section outlines self-assessment procedures, vitamins and other supplements, exercises, improving environments and appetites, and designing a personal nutritional program. Other sections discuss actions to be taken in partnership with physicians, and directing one's own healing. MJ Nutrition. Physician patient relations. Wasting syndrome. Therapies.

Parents, friends, teachers, clergy, and the media offer mixed, and often conflicting advice and opinions about appropriate sexual behavior. The narrator suggests that college students balance these factors and make an informed personal decision. The importance of condom use is emphasized. MJ College students. Colleges or universities.
