Abstracts

Examined the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral group psychotherapy (CBT) and an experiential group psychotherapy (ET) program for 39 asymptomatic HIV-infected homosexual men (aged 26–60 yrs). Both therapies consisted of 17 sessions over a 15-wk period. Data indicate that psychosocial intervention, independent of the therapeutic orientation, decreased distress significantly, as compared with a waiting-list control group (WCG). There were no significant changes in the intervention groups as compared with the WCG in coping styles, social support, and emotional expression. CBT and ET did not differ in their effects on psychological distress or on the other psychosocial variables.
