Related Mental Health: February 2004 Archives

I've heard excellent reports of a new book by Lorraine Bell, a clinical psychologist who works with people with eating disorders. It's called 'Managing Intense Emotions and Overcoming Self-Destructive Habits: A Self-Help Manual'

I just came across this sad but fascinating story from the Village Voice:

"Craig Williams, a curator at the New York State Museum, drove four hours to visit Willard Psychiatric Center in the spring of 1995. The complex, located 65 miles southwest of Syracuse, was about to shut down after more than 100 years. Williams figured he would be able to pick up some artifacts

I recently came across the Northumberland Health Action Zone site which has some useful
downloadable self-help leaflets for sufferers from a range of difficulties including obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, bereavement and panic.

By the way, as they're in pdf format, you'll need a copy of Acrobat Reader if you don't already have one.
