I recently compiled this list of great <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/books-about-anorexia">books about anorexia</a>. It includes the recent best-seller Wintergirls but also includes a few lesser know books about individuals struggling with an eating disorder. sageinacagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06959929211553077243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021999492115057250.post-74580574841492721592012-11-22T02:56:00.001-08:002012-11-22T02:56:24.381-08:00A Great Book to help Children learn How to Deal with Anger<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A Volcano in My Tummy is a great book which helps children learn how to deal with anger. Many people might find it surprising that children also suffer anger management issues but anger is a natural emotion which, if not managed correctly, can affect a child's interaction with his/her family, school and peer group.<br />
<br />
This book is a great anger management workbook for adults to work through with children to find fun ways to understand and manage anger,<br />

Every few weeks they assign quests where they ask authors to write on certain topics. Last week I was asked to write about gifts for teens so I chose to write about personalized gifts for teen girls. What girl doesn't like receiving a personalized gift? It makes us feel special.<br />

Raynaud's leaves my fingers and toes constantly cold and without proper circulation. When you combine a stressful environment with the cold winter months it can be a recipe for disaster when it comes to circulation in my fingers. I can't use my mobile phone outside as my fingers with lose all feeling if they are not kept firmly in my pockets.<br />
<br />

I had always seen those reusable hand warmers advertised in shops and assumed they were a gimmick until I finally relented and tried one. What can I say? I'm now addicted to them! I have one in each pocket now when I go out and I can 'activate' them when my hands get cold. They provide around 15 minutes heat (and decent heat too!). When I return home I simply place them in a pot of water and boil them for 15 minutes to 'reset' them for use again.<br />
<br />
There are actually a variety of different types of hand warmers on the market today. Check <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/hand-warmers-heated">this great article</a> on the different types of hand warmers available and where to purchase them. The reusable gel hand warmers I described above are actually a lot more inexpensive than I had thought.

Although many of the online psychology degrees currently offered on the internet are not fully accredited by psychological associations, they can provide a great stepping stone for anyone who wants to get into the field of psychology. Typically costing a lot less than degree programs in traditional universities, many online institutions offer some online degree programs in psychology which can help kick start your career.<br />
<br />
Check out this regularly updated list of current online psychology degrees.<br />

Note: If you are intending to follow a professional career in either clinical or counseling psychology it is highly recommended to check the accreditation of each qualification.sageinacagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06959929211553077243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5021999492115057250.post-82455056151456125692012-10-25T10:41:00.000-07:002012-10-25T10:41:29.482-07:00Borderline Personality Disorder<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is one of the most recent and controversial additions to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnostic_and_Statistical_Manual_of_Mental_Disorders">DSM IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV)</a>. Estimated to affect about 1-3% of the general population BPD is a personality disorder characterized by a pervasive disturbance of personality function, self-image and moods. Although medication is generally not recommended as a frontline treatment for the disorder many therapies are proving promising in helping individuals manage and control their borderline tendencies.<br />

As a sufferer of depression, and being a psychologist by profession, I tend to be super critical of portrayals of mental health issues in films.<br />
<br />
Here is a list of some movies which I have really enjoyed which all feature individuals dealing with depression.<br />
