Families Re-Membered Pastoral Support – AIDS

Description

Families Re-Membered:
Pastoral Support for Friends and Families Living with Hiv/Aids
by The Rev. Louis F. Kavar, Ph.D.
105 pages

Dr. Louis F. Kavar has observed that hiv/aids causes a shift in family dynamics and that families are often re-structured, enlarged, and changed - "re-membered" - as a result of the impact of the health crisis on the family system.

From a pastoral perspective, ministers and others working with people living with hiv, and their families and friends, need to re-member families to include family members of choice.

This book explores the dynamics of family systems and the realities of extended families of choice in the context of hiv/aids.

The Rev Kavar holds the degree of Master of Arts from the Institute of Formative Spirituality at Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, in spirituality and Doctorate of Philosophy from the School of Education at the University of Pittsburgh in counseling.
