Summary:
Describes a mental health treatment program for persons living with HIV/AIDS that uses a psycho-social model of rehabilitation. Argues that standard mental health treatment is inaccessible for people living with mental illness, addictions, and HIV/AIDS, particularly who are homeless. Contrasts psychiatry and psychology with treatment models that take social context into account.
