“…The act of eating a clove of raw garlic had a direct impact on the believability of the feedbackÐparticipants in this study who ingested a clove of raw garlic engaged in more discounting than participants who had ingested a mint. People with an intrusive stigma appear to be less likely to accept social feedback at face value, regardless of its valence (see Ferrara, 1984;Kleck & Strenta, 1980).…”

We examine the importance of group membership in stigma and its role in the eectiveness of self-protective cognitions in three experiments. In Experiment 1, men are asked to interact with an attractive female who will judge their value as a potential date, and either eat a mint or a clove of raw garlic prior to the interview. Although the stigmatized-by-garlic men discounted negative feedback and attributed it to their garlic breath, discounting and attributions were negatively correlated with self-esteem. In Experiment 2, White participants were evaluated positively or negatively by a bogus partner who the participants believed had been told that the participant was either White or Black. Although participants receiving negative feedback engaged in several self-protective cognitions, including attributing their negative feedback to racism, the strategies were uncorrelated with self-esteem. In Experiment 3, women prepared to interact via computer with a partner who expressed sexist or non-sexist beliefs. In the absence of feedback, self-esteem increased when their partner was sexist. In contrast with the ®rst two experiments, perceiving the partner as prejudiced was signi®cantly and positively correlated with self-esteem. Together, these experiments suggest that selfprotective cognitions ®nd their eectiveness when stigma has a basis in group membership. Copyright # 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.Early self theories suggested that self-esteem was based on experience and re¯ected information from the social world about social acceptance, moral value, and personal accomplishments (see Shrauger & Schoeneman, 1979, for a review). Over the past several decades, the early theories have been shown to be over-simpli®ed, limited, and, in some cases, simply wrong. One way in which these theories' predictions have

Therapists should be familiar with and seek training, if necessary, in regard to the expected short-and long-term issues (e.g., Ferrara, 1984;Grant & Anns, 1988;Price, Omizo, & Hammett, 1986) facing HIV-positive individuals, AIDS patients, and those significant others who are potentially affected by such diagnoses.…”

This article provides a framework, based on the Tarasoff decision and its sequelae, for examining several confidentiality issues that may emerge in psychotherapy situations related to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Four Tarasoff issues (special therapeutic relationship, dangerousness, identifiable victim, therapist's action to detain and/or warn) are described and applied to therapy situations with clients who have AIDS or are positive for antibodies. Recommendations are provided for psychotherapists dealing with such confidentiality dilemmas. DOUGLAS H. LAMB received hisPhD in clinical psychology from Florida State University in 1969 and is currently Professor of Psychology and Training Director of the Student Counseling Center at Illinois State University. His current interests include professional training, career passages of psychologists, and how individuals deal with life-threatening events.

Occasionally, a fatal disease is known by the general public according to how it kills, sometimes it is known by who it kills, but rarely is it known as something that strikes terror throughout every segment of society. Yet, such is the case with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The mention of AIDS causes people to draw back in fear; it has the emotional impact of a modern-day black plague. AIDS has become a psychological emergency.This article will summarize what is currently known or assumed about AIDS as a disease entity, what assumptions and findings are guiding research, what problems have hampered that research, and the role of psychological factors in each of these efforts. Perhaps a reasonable summary of facts will help dispel the myths that plague scientific investigation, medical practice, and the life and death of virtually every person with AIDS.
