AIDS presents an unprecedented challenge for family therapists. A method of response is suggested involving three stages of therapy: (a) dealing with the crisis of disclosure; (b) interacting with larger systems; (c) working on family relationships and the grieving process. Countertransference issues which threaten to disrupt this three‐stage therapeutic process are discussed.
