About the Author
Charles Garfield, Ph.D., is the founder of Shanti Project, one of the first HIV/AIDS community organizations in the world and serves as a clinical professor of psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of California School of Medicine in San Francisco.
From Library Journal
Extraordinary times bring out extraordinary people. AIDS caregivers are such people; they deal with fear, ignorance, and prejudice, as well as opportunistic diseases and death. Garfield, who profiled top business achievers in his 1986 Peak Performers, highlights 20 of these remarkable caregivers, many of whom were affiliated with San Francisco's Shanti Project, which Garfield founded, at some point in their work. Yet most, if not all, would probably brush off the notion that they are extraordinary. They perceive themselves as people who see a need (both in themselves and around them) and fill it. But their work is not without a cost. Garfield also discusses caring for the caregivers, who often suffer from burnout, fatigue, and traumatic stress syndrome. "The best caregivers," he writes, "are those who come to work not out of guilt or professional necessity, but because they have been touched by the soul of another human being." Recommended for most collections.?Lee Arnold, Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
