Cognitive-Behavioral Stress Management: Workbook

Michael H. Antoni, Gail Ironson, and Neil Schneiderman

Abstract

For individuals living with HIV, stress can have a critical impact on emotional and physical well-being, as well as decreasing immune functioning, which is a significant concern for HIV-infected individuals. This online workbook presents an empirically supported, group treatment program that teaches HIV-infected individuals how to manage their stress. This comprehensive Cognitive-Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) program combines stress management with relaxation training. Each group meeting introduces a new relaxation method, such as progressive muscle relaxation, imagery, and meditation. Stress management skills build on one another and include cognitive restructuring, coping strategies, and establishing a strong social network. By the end of the program, participants are equipped with a variety of inter-related techniques that they can use to reduce stress and improve quality of life. This workbook comes complete with user-friendly monitoring forms and homework exercises designed to help reinforce the skills learned in group. It also includes instructions for relaxation practice that will remain useful long after the program is completed.

Keywords: AIDS, stress, group treatment program, relaxation techniques, relaxation practice, cognitive-behavioral stress management, CBSM
