  • Title: A group design for HIV-negative gay men.
    Author: Koetting ME.
    Journal: Soc Work; 1996 Jul; 41(4):407-15. PubMed ID: 8669003.
    Abstract:
    The social work and psychotherapeutic literature is replete with information on the psychosocial needs of HIV-positive gay men and gay men living with AIDS. However, scant information focuses on an often-overlooked population: HIV-negative gay men. This article examines the development of a group design that addresses the unique psychosocial needs of HIV-negative gay men. A 12-week, time-limited group focused on the effects of the AIDS epidemic on HIV-negative gay men's psychosocial functioning, including its potential exacerbation of common developmental issues such as exclusion, loss, survivor guilt, and lack of validation; the use of insight interventions and psychosocial problem solving; and the development of a working focus and group goals to improve psychosocial functioning in this population. Initial evaluations by group members using this design show promise; however, empirical evidence is essential to verify its effectiveness.
