Its bad, but it might get a lot worse, I recall him saying. The anxiety was expected and appropriate: he had lost a great deal

5、of his (and others) assets, and like the rest of us he had no idea where the bottom was. I would have been worried if he hadnt been anxious. Over the course of several weeks, with the help of some anti-anxiety medication, his panic subsided as he realized that he would most likely survive economical

Im over the anxiety, but now I feel that Im a loser, He was not clinically depressed: his sleep, appetite and ability to enjoy himself outside of work were unchanged. This was different.

7、The problem was that his sense of success and accomplishment was intimately tied to his financial status; he did not know how to feel competent or good about himself without this external measure of his value. He wasnt the only one. Over the last few months, I have seen a group of patients, all men,

8、 who experienced a near collapse in their self-esteem, though none of them were clinically depressed. Another patient summed it. up: I used to be a master-of-the-universe kind of guy, but this cut me down to size. I have plenty of female patients who work in finance at high levels, but none of them

Chances are that if you are impervious to self-doubt and go on feeling good about yourself in the face of failure, you have either won the temperamental sweepstakes or you have a real problem tolerating bad news. Of course, the re

13、lationship between self-esteem and achievement can be circular. Some argue that the best way to build self-esteem is to tell people at every turn how nice, smart and talented they are. That is probably a bad idea if you think that self-esteem and recognition should be the result of accomplishment; y

40、ul dreams. But it wasnt always thus. Research conducted in the early part of the last century consistently found that people reported dreaming most often in black and white. According to Eva Murzyn at the University of Dundee, there are at least two possible explanations for this strange anomaly(反常)

41、. The first is methodological. The early studies tended to use questionnaires, whereas more modern studies use dream diaries (filled in upon rising in the morning) or so-called REM-awakening, which involves interrupting peoples dream-filled periods of sleep to find out what they were dreaming about.

42、 Peoples memories of their dreams are likely to be less accurate using the questionnaire approach and more likely to reflect lay(世俗的) beliefs about the form dreams generally take. The second explanation has to do with black and white television and film. Its possible that the boom in black and white

43、 film and television during the first half of the last century either affected the form of peoples dreams at that time, or affected their beliefs about the form dreams generally take. According to Murzyns findings, its the explanation based on media exposure that carries more weight. She used both q

44、uestionnaire and diary methods to study the dreams of 30 older (average age 64) and 30 younger people (average age 21). The methodological technique made no difference to the type of dreams people reported. Crucially, however, across both questionnaires and diaries, the older participants (who had h

45、ad significant early life exposure to black and white media) reported experiencing significantly more black and white dreams over the last ten days than the younger participants (22 per cent vs 4 per cent). Another finding was that older participants reported black and white dreams and color dreams

46、to be of equal vividness. By contrast, the younger participants reported that the quality of black and white dreams was poorer. This raises the possibility that the younger participants didnt really have any black and white dreams at all, but were simply labeling poorly remembered dreams as black an

47、d white. Several awkward questions are left unanswered by this study. Its not clear if the older participants really are experiencing more black and white dreams or if its their memories or beliefs about dreams that is influencing their reports.A disadvantage for the questionnaires method is that_.A
