Infecting the Treatment or Reiki Way of the Heart

Infecting the Treatment: Being an HIV-Positive Analyst

Author: Gilbert W Col

As HIV/AIDS has evolved from an acute crisis into a chronic, long-term problem, it remains what it has always been: a medical condition that is far more than a medical condition. As Gilbert Cole relates, we still struggle with the need to read HIV/AIDS as a moral text that links certain sexual practices and stigmatized identities with punishment, suffering, and death. Thus, two decades into life with the virus, the revelation of being HIV positive remains a disclosure fraught with meaning. Infecting the Treatment: Being an HIV-Positive Analyst is an intimate and deeply insightful examination of the impact of Cole's disclosure of his HIV seropositivity on his analytic sense of self and on his clinical work with patients.
