Group Counseling For The HIV/AIDS Population
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The HIV/AIDS population faces considerably more challenges than other members of society, in that they have to struggle just to achieve a modicum of acceptance. Their societal counterparts, who are frequently ignorant to deeper issues surrounding the disease, often unknowingly make them feel inadequate and worthless when it comes their life choices. Incorporating group counseling as a means by which to overcome the not-so-invisible boundaries that intrude upon an individual's right to exist is a most effective way to address the inherent fear, isolation and depression associated with HIV/AIDS, as well as win back a person's sense of self. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Investigating Advice on Communication Between Couples
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper comparing the theories of 5 self-help relationship books to the findings of current communications research reports. There are very good self-help books available discussing the male-female romantic relationship, but the reader does indeed need to be aware of the discrepancies of many of them with both current communications research findings and common sense. With the exception of Gray, every one of the problems discussed in both the books and the communications journal articles referenced for this paper has as its base a lack of honesty on the part of at least one, and normally both involved players. Whether that lack of honesty is intentional or not, it nevertheless is there and blocks the path of any true and lasting relationship. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
