In this population, posttraumatic responses can include both general avoidance of distress related to the trauma but also specific avoidance of HIV-related stimuli that can reduce engagement in HIV care. The present paper introduces an application of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Trauma and Self-Care (CBT-TSC), which integrates CBT strategies to address posttraumatic stress symptoms with the Life-Steps framework, an evidence-based, single-session problem-solving intervention that increases adherence to antiretroviral therapies. Other CBT components include psychoeducation and the reduction of specific trauma symptoms, including avoidance and negative self-beliefs that can act as barriers to care engagement. The intervention is presented via four individual case studies. These cases demonstrate the ways in which CBT-TSC can be used to support mental health and self-care among MSM with HIV who have histories of trauma and are facing barriers to full participation in HIV care.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51511,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive and Behavioral Practice","volume":"32 2","pages":"Pages 285-300"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139821224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a promising method to improve health outcomes and psychological functioning in youth with Type 1 Diabetes. Accordingly, this article offers a brief overview of Type 1 Diabetes as well as examining the role of fear of hypoglycemia and disease-related anxieties in pediatric patients.
