Abstract
We describe a psychoeducational group intervention for family members of persons living with AIDS. The 33 family members were compared with 13 waiting‐list controls in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. We focus on the practice aspects of the intervention, its development and implementation, and our belief that it is an apparently effective approach for helping family members work through the social and emotional aspects of the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS.Keywords
