Bailout

Most of us have experienced serious financial and emotional repercussions from the current worldwide financial meltdown. I am developing a talk for church and synagogue women's and men's clubs titled "Emotional bailout: Coping with recession." The presentation will draw parallels between economic concepts and psychological constructs, e.g., consumer confidence and trust; wall street panic and anxiety disorders; bear markets and depression, financial capital and ego strength; liquidity and amotional lability. The major thrust of the talk will be using psychological treatment strstegies and positive psychology to avoid anxiety, depression, panic, impulsity, and hysteria, both in the marketplace and intrapsychicly. It is expected that this topic will be relevant for quite some time.
