Tackling the current economic crisis

On Wednesday, Oct. 1, some of the world’s brightest economic minds came together at the UCLA Anderson School of Management to discuss the current financial crisis. Moderated by Bloomberg News’ L.A. bureau chief Seth Lubove, the panel discussion focused on events leading up to the current economic turmoil; possible solutions, including the recent $700 billion bailout plan; and whether the country is facing the possibility of another Great Depression.

Panelists included UCLA Anderson School of Management faculty Edward Leamer, Chauncey J. Medberry Professor of Management and director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast; Francis Longstaff, Allstate Professor of Insurance and Finance; and Richard Roll, Japan Alumni Professor of International Finance.

Why do we Americans have much more trouble controlling our drinking than Europeans do?

I’ve been over seas in other countries and found that alot of people over there drink, but very few of them drink "Alot". Whereas over here, you don’t have to look far to find someone passed out, or driving recklessly behind the wheel. Why do you suppose that is? And if Europeans can be such responsible drinkers, why can’t we?
uhhhhh…. It looks like I may have asked this question in the wrong section. Oh well! Feel free to answer.

Same reason why we have more trouble controlling our eating.

If you cant control your drinking, should you even do it?

simple question. if you dont know when to stop should you even start? just want opinions.

No. People with issues of self control should never use addictive substances.

What is the cost of outpatient treatment for behavioral addi

Outpatient care ranges from free of charge, meaning self-help groups like SMART Recovery, Moderation Management, but there’s also some other ones like SOS, Women for Sobriety and Recovery Incorporated. These are all out-patient, free, self-help groups that are available via the internet. Not every single town has one, but please look at the internet, and you’ll see if there’s a meeting by you. Each of the philosophies are somewhat different, but they’re free of charge. Now the price goes up from there, of course. You know, an individual therapist can range from, you know, $75 an hour to $350 an hour. You could go once a week, you could go twice a week, you could go three times a week, ’cause that could be quite expensive. Outpatient structured, outpatient is generally somewhere between the $3,000 and $5,000 range for three months. For more information visit http://www.aaalternatives.com

how 2 keep yourself under control while drinking?

not like keep yourself from being wild but like .. how do you know exactly what your doing so you dont do anything stupid?

For every drink you have drink a glass of water. Also, when you decide to drink bring a friend that will be the non drinking designated driver.Or stay where you are partying at. I mean spend the night. Do not drink and then take off and drink somewhere else. Stay in one spot. That will lower the risks of doing something dumb like DUI or acting stupid. Drink that water…

Where should you go for help with a behavioral addiction?

The unfortunate thing is that in this country there are very few treatment resources for behavioral addiction. There are some, but there are not a lot. If you had a chemical addiction you’d find a treatment resource, probably, on every corner. However, for behavior addictions, they’re quite difficult to find. If you’re going to go about finding a recovery program and a more cognitive behavioral one, probably the easiest one to identify is a private clinician, private psychologist, social worker, or mental health professional in your community. The best place to find that is in your phone book or information. You call up and you ask your local psychological association as well as call up the National Organization of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists or go online and look for a professional within your community. Beyond doing private one on one or private group, there are a few inpatient facilities (not a lot) around the country. There are some outpatient facilities; that means that you don’t go in, you don’t check yourself in, and you don’t sleep there. There are support groups, although not a lot. There’s smart recovery, where the individual wants an abstinence goal. There’s moderation management, which is for harm reduction goal, but there are not a lot of support groups on that level. However, there are Internet chat rooms and there are Internet resources that aren’t exactly formalized support groups but you can get some accurate and solid information on approaching it from a cognitive behavioral standpoint.
