AIDS profoundly changes the lives of infected individuals and their families. The diagnosis brings with it the possibility of destruction but also the possibility for psychological growth. Therapeutic interventions address both issues within the context of individual psychological development, social relationships, and issues of grief and loss. This article describes the use of group counseling over a five year period with a group of individuals infected with or affected by AIDS.

The present study compared, using delayed multiple-criteria measures, the effectiveness of two different group-counseling techniques with college Ss who expressed a desire to improve their academic performance. The procedures were a more traditional approach focusing on personal-emotional problems and one on development of behaviors appropriate for college achievement. Groups were compared with two control groups on three criteria, pre-post change scores in grade point average, adjustment scores, and study habits and attitudes scores. The 5 hypotheses were not supported. Implications for research and practice in group counseling were discussed.
