AB The phenomena of self-initiated isolation and social withdrawal of
people dying from AIDS is described and explained in the context of its
irony and detriment to the patients' well being, minimizing access to
social support resources. The psychological and the therapeutic
relevance of social support during the critical transition phase is
explored. Recommendations for curbing the phenomena of self-imposed
social death in PWAs, as well as suggestions for future research on the
value of psychosocial support to the PWA's well being during the
transition phase, are also discussed.
