0074 - Delusional Infestation

Course Description

Delusionary Infestation (DI) is a psychological disorder in which an individual believes that they have insects on or under their skin against all medical evidence. On several occasions, I have either had a phone conversation with a client or a walk-in seeking help with an insect situation that after discussions, I found did not actually exist.  This in-depth virtual workshop features speakers from all over the world explaining how to identify the problem and the strategies to assist people who suffer from DI.
