Introduction
Welcome to the Home Study Course sponsored by the Healthcare Training Institute. This course is entitled, Physical Pain Stops my Pain. 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 self mutilation. 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 section is very content dense. So feel free to replay the section to review the content either for your own purposes, or if you feel appropriate play the section in an individual or group session for client education. Also permission is granted to reproduce this CD.

Each of the questions that are included on this CD set is reprinted in your Test. These questions 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 section. 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. Each answer is only used once. Keep in mind there is nothing trick or hard about these questions. They are merely intended to verify the playing of this CD set.

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: the reason behind the pain, feeling the pain, hospitalization, the vulnerable teen, body image, effect on the family, therapy tactics, substituting self-control, DSM Diagnosis, justifying the pain, cultural pressures, attachments, resistant clients, and challenges in the final stages of recovery.

So, let's get started...
