Welcome to the Home Study Course sponsored by
the Healthcare Training Institute. This course is entitled,
Ethical Dilemmas in the Recall of Trauma. 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.
Hi. My
name is Tracy Catherine Appleton. I will be the narrator of this CD set. 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 ethics and trauma recall. 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 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.
As you are aware, the title of this course is Ethical
Dilemmas in the Recall of Trauma. Recall for me brings to mind the word, confabulation.
Confabulation is defined as the act of making up for gaps in memory by fabricating
stories or details. This course will examine ethical issues regarding confabulation
in the areas of: Countertransference, Hypnotism and Ethical Controversies, FC
and Autistic Child Trauma, Dream Interpretation and Sleep Paralysis, Vet Flashbacks,
and Play Therapy and Role Playing Ethics.
So, let's get started...
