Dear Colleagues,

For starters, I recommend that you see the new movie As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. The movie, in addition to being a great laugh, features a man with OCD, who benefits from treatment.

Building Self-Esteem: A Self-Help Guide
Most people feel bad about themselves from time to time. Feelings of low self-esteem may be triggered by being treated poorly by someone else recently or in the past, or by a person’s own judgments of him or herself. This is normal. However, low self-esteem is a constant companion for too many people, especially those who experience depression, anxiety, phobias, psychosis, delusional thinking, or who have an illness or a disability.
