AI-generated Abstract

The review of Donald T. Dickson's book, "HIV, AIDS, and the Law," provides an assessment of how legal frameworks intersect with social work in the context of HIV/AIDS. The book is structured into three sections: foundational knowledge of HIV/AIDS and its legal/social context, ethical and legal practices pertinent to social work, and specific family and children’s issues. Mancoske evaluates the book's effectiveness in outlining relevant laws and policies for social work practitioners, emphasizing its utility as an overview while critiquing its lack of depth in philosophical analysis, the implications of laws on well-being, and the necessity of a human rights framework in addressing HIV/AIDS-related issues.
