*** SHORT HEALTH/SAFETY TIPS FOR THE WEEK ***
SORE THROAT? - Try this "shiatsu pressure point" tip: Find the point
on your right thumb at the lower portion of your thumbnail closest to your
index finger. Apply pressure to this point for 20 seconds. Do this
three times and then switch to the left hand.
NOSE BLEEDS? - Here's what to do: Sit and make sure your clothes
around your neck are loose. Lean slightly forward. Let the blood flow
out through your nose. Keep a soft towel under your nostrils to avoid
dripping. Breathe through your mouth and apply pressure to the
nose
with your thumb and index finger just at the point where the soft and
hard part meet. Hold for 5 minutes. If blood has not stopped after 5
minutes, repeat these steps up to a total of 20 minutes. Do not blow
your nose! If bleeding persists after 20 minutes, nosebleeds are
recurrent or your nose is swollen, disfigured or discolored, seek the
advice of a physician.
WRIST STRETCH - If a good percentage of your day is spent at the
computer, there are several quick exercises that you can do to relieve
tension and help to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Try this:
Stretch out one arm with palm facing down. Grab that hand's fingers
with your other hand. Using slight pressure, bend back the wrist. Hold
for ten seconds. Repeat twice. Switch arms.

*** BOOK REVIEW The Mental Health Desk Reference – written by by
Elizabeth Reynolds Welfel (Editor), R. Elliott Ingersoll (Editor)***
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A wide range of practice-based topics are addressed in this fact-packed
reference book for mental health professionals. Divided into nine major
sections, it covers both practical and ethical concerns. The first
section focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of common mental
illnesses through the life cycle and includes issues relating to
specific groups, crisis interventions, and practice management
concerns.
This is followed by discussions of legal/ethical issues and how mental
health workers can cope with the formidable demands and stresses (e.g.,
compassion fatigue and burnout) of their occupations. The chapters are
succinct, typically including statistics, current research, statements
of the "best practice," and notable bibliographies. The editors, both
professors of counseling at Cleveland State University, have done an
admirable job of assembling into a coherent whole contributions from
more than 70 experts from a variety of fields. The result is a wealth
of useful information handily packaged for the working professional. The
practical, direct, and authoritative tone of the book makes it suitable
for a diverse audience needing a bridge between the divergent worlds of
practice and multidisciplinary research in the field. Recommended for
specialized collections serving mental healthcare providers. Antoinette
