| Abstract: | AIDS (AcquiredImmuno Deficiency Syndrome) is caused by multiple sexual contacts, unhygienic blood transfusions and intravenous drug abuse. It is now thought of as a chronic disease whose length is indeter¬minate and whose course is uncertain. It seems to be an expected diagnosis leading rapidly to death. As the disease is associated with the feelings of isolation and depression in the patients, psychotherapy to the people with this infection and their families is expected to play an important role in the alleviation of psycho¬logical symptoms. Family systems therapy leads to intervention of the disease to some extent with the effec¬tive counselling of the patient's family. The counselling goals include reconciliation of the ill person and his/ her family, mobilization of family resources, facilitation of ill person's participation in the on going life and in the planning for its future. The family therapist explains to the AIDS infected person his/her responsibili¬ties towards her/his spouse before death. He also tells howto cope with the grief after the death of loved one. The family counselor also makes his/her best efforts to continue communication with the family members after patient's death and suggests medical check ups of the family members. Moreover, family systems approach in counseling help in understanding common patterns of couple relationships, empowers the family to believe in its own capacities for problem solution and illness management, maps the family illness structure so as to make it healthier and mobilizes extrafamilial support to the AIDS patients. |
