Publisher: Springer Verlag, Singapore

This book delves into the profound experiences and emotional expressions of 30 individuals living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) through qualitative research methods such as "illness narratives." It also analyzes the complex dilemmas posed by "sicknesses of society," including "Acquired Needs Deficiency" Syndrome, "Acquired Expectation Insufficiency" Syndrome, and "Acquired Punishment" Syndrome, at various levels, including micro, meso, and macro. By investigating higher-intensity negative emotions, the book aims to understand the mechanisms behind these emotions and explore potential avenues for transformation, strengthening, and presentation.

Drawing from diverse perspectives such as conflict, game, structure and function, and system and interaction, the book proposes a dynamic mechanism of emotion and expression. It argues that these negative emotions can be transformed, reinforced, and expressed through defense mechanisms like suppression and attribution, which have the potential to influence social institutions at multiple levels, including micro, meso, and macro. The book suggests that these defense mechanisms can ultimately contribute to positive changes in the social structure and the well-being of PLWHA and society as a whole.

This comprehensive exploration of the emotional lives of PLWHA offers valuable insights into the complexities of living with HIV/AIDS and the broader societal challenges associated with these illnesses. It sheds light on the need for empathy, understanding, and support for individuals facing adversity and highlights the potential for positive change through collective efforts and innovative approaches.
