Purpose is to develop a much broader understanding of one of this nation's major health problems Information is supplied with the cooperation of the U.S. Department of Health. Education and Welfare. Today's presentation concerns Mental Health Treatment Today). Today there are a number of modern methods for treating mental or emotional disorders. The following are some examples: Short-term psychotherapy is used when the problem seems to be one brought on by some event or episode in life, such as a death in the family, divorce, or physical illness. Even good news can sometimes cause a severe upset A job promotion or a move to a better home are good examples. The goal of the therapist is simply to help iron out the problem as quickly as possible. Usually, this takes onlv a few visits. In family therapy the whole family is interviewed to help determine the root cause of a problem. Perhaps a son needs to be with his father who is unavailable in the evenings. A mother may be spending too much time worrying about things that would be less of a problem if she could see them in a different way. If the family therapist can lead the family members to see each other in a new light, then their behavior toward one another can im­ prove, and their problems begin to fade. Group therapy takes place when a small group of people gather to discuss their problems with each other under the guidance of a therapist The group members help each other with their individual problems. The therapist guides the con­ versation into useful directions, offers advice if needed, and points out things the group members might otherwise miss. One form of group therapy is called psychodrama By playing a role-such as father or mother, sister or mother-and making up the part, one can discover personal feelings and reactions to others that were CTUCATIO I College Honors} RESIDENT ADV ISORS Maureen Pintozzi, 3717 W High street and Mary E.

Play therapy may be used when a child has deep-seated fears, or continuing behavior or learning problems that indicate help is needed. Once the trouble is diagnosed, play therapy may be recommended as a means of getting down to the cause of the difficulty. Many problems can be dealt with in play therapy by experienced child therapists. Fortunately, young children respond very well to this way of establishing communication with them. Often, as children become older, the n^ore dif­ ficult it is to change their behavior patterns. Although some problems, such as chronic bed-wetting, and some physical ailments, such as allergies or asthma, are not usually thought of as possible signs of emotional disturbance, they can signal a need for psychological help.

Some people take a "better safe than sorry" stand, while others seem to feel that it's not necessary to immunize everyone. State public health physicians in Illinois, however, are unanimous in their belief that Americans should receive the vaccine. "This particular strain of influenza hasn't been seen in the United states for more than forty years," said one physician. "That means that most people have not had an opportunity to build up any natural immunity to it." Public health officials fear that, because nearly everyone is susceptible to this type of influenza, an outbreak in the United States could mean one as large as the 1918 epidemic. In that epidemic, millions of Americans were in­ fected....schools and other public places were closed ...- churches suspended ser­ vices....many places of business had to close until the epidemic was over. Public health officials point out that, for the first time in history, they have advance warning that a particular strain of influenza might ap­ pear during the winter months. They cannot, of course, say THINGS TO REMEMBER Sunday - Church services -- Ringwood church -- 9:15 p.m. Church School begins Sept. 12 at 9:45 p.m. at Ringwood church.

But, if this flu virus follows the' traditional influenza pattern (a few cases early in the year followed by an increase in cases late in the year), its appearance could be expected around the middle of December. "Knowing this," commented one physician, "how can we not encourage citizens of Illinois to recieve the vaccine?" The New Jersey influenza mass immunization plan has been compared to preventing forest fires. It's much better, and easier, to prevent a forest fire (or an epidmeic) than to deal with it after it has started. The decision to have the immunization is, of course, up to each individual person. But, according to Illinois public health physicians, it's truly a matter of "an ounce of prevention" being worth much more than "a pound of cure."
