This home study addresses Denial in addiction.  Denial is a serious problem in the treatment of addiction and related personality and mental disorders. Denial Management Counseling (DMC) is a comprehensive system for identifying and managing the self-reinforcing denial patterns that often prevent addicted people and their families from engaging in and maintaining recovery.

This home study course describes the Twelve Common Denial Patterns (the Big Five and the Small Seven) and explains the master DMC Treatment Plan. This home study and accompanying text book will show you new and powerful denial management skills to help you review and organize the skills you already possess. It discusses a number of issues related to motivating clients to recover by using a systematic process to manage denial, overcome treatment resistance, identify serious problems, and motivate clients to solve them.
