| Welcome to the Home Study Course sponsored by the Healthcare Training
Institute. This course is entitled, Child Grief. Our primary intent for this home study course is to provide quality
education to foster your professional growth. The Institute has provided
quality education since 1979.
We
appreciate that you have chosen us as a vehicle for you to earn your Continuing
Education Credit.
The purpose of the course is to assist you in increasing your knowledge
regarding how to treat patients, clients, etc. dealing with grief. As each case
study is given, if the concepts seem to be applicable to your situation, I
encourage you to turn your CD player off and make a few notes regarding the
application of the principle to your setting. However, these notes are
for your purposes only and are not to be sent to the Institute. Also
each track is very content dense. So feel free to replay the track to
review the content either for your own purposes, or if you feel appropriate
play the track in an individual or group session for client education. Also
permission is granted to reproduce this CD. We encourage you to duplicate
and give copies of this CD to colleagues, clients, etc. as you deem appropriate.
We feel the information on our CD's is valuable. Thus, we have an interest
in distributing CD's in as many ways as possible, to benefit the greatest number
of people, who have a need and are receptive to this practical information.
The questions in your Test are sequential and deal with
the section of content that preceded it. For this reason, to facilitate
the answering of each question, you might read the question from the Test prior to listening to that CD track. By knowing what the question
is ahead of time, you will then know the content to listen for that contains
the answer. So
just a hint, after you write down the answer to a question in your Test,
read on to the next question in order to give you a "heads
up" to listen for the content that contains the answer to the next question.
Merely write the correct letter on the corresponding blank line in
your Test. Each answer is only used once. Keep in mind there is
nothing tricky or hard about these questions. They are merely intended
to verify the playing of this CD.
For the purpose of brevity, most generally, I will use the term "therapists" or "mental
health professional." However, don’t let these terms deter
you from applying the concepts to your situations. When you hear the
word "therapists," if your job title is social worker, psychologist,
marriage and family therapist, mental health counselor, professional counselor,
resident director, program assistant, etc. merely substitute the appropriate
term that is the most meaningful to you. In short, don’t let my use of
the term "therapists" cognitively set you off track from hearing
the content because your job title is school counselor, for example. I
will also use the term "client" for the purposes of brevity. However,
if you deal with patients, residents, students, consumers, etc., transpose "client" for
the term that is the most meaningful to you in your work setting.
On this CD set we will discuss such topics as: 3 types of denial, diffusing
anger, relief from guilt, murder affecting grieving children, melancholic features,
fear, change, adjustment, parental guidelines for trauma, hyperactivity resulting
from loss, grief and explaining separation, displacement reactions, delayed
grief work, and resolving childhood grief as an adult.
So, let’s get started...
