"And we were very particular about it. If a pot didn't taste right to me or my brother, we threw it and made another." Sarandon moved to Clearwater Beach eight years ago, and his recent stay in Beckley is his first return to the city since that time. "I'VE NEVER seen anyhing like the growth this town has undergone since I left. It's incredible. Banks are going up all over the place, I understand," Sarandon said.

"And I've been wondering what has caused the rapid growth. Certainly there are no gold mines, or oil wells here, and at limes it seems very unusual to me. I suppose inflation has something to do with it, but I a think it's a tributable to the growth of coal industry." "In a way, 1 feel that maybe it's time for the city to stop growing, if that is possible. Enough is enough," he continued. "But I would also like to say how grateful 1 am to the peole in the many small mining towns that surround Beckley.

It was these people who helped the Eatwsll become so bie and well known."

Beck said suicidal patient are often convinced that killin themselves is the only way solve their problems. For instance, a suicidal an depressed woman Dr.

Bee treated was convinced sh would be "nothing" without he unfaithful husband. Through a series of question (were you "nothing" befor self-image at the core of ur marriage? Are you happ with your husband? Do othe find you attractive?) Bed said he was able to show thi woman that she could cope witl a divorce without resorting to suicide. In a sense, he said, the pa tient and the therapist must "act as scientists collaborating on a problem." This can be accomplishec through "Socratic" dialogues, in which the therapist questions the patients' negative assumptions about themselves, or through setting up esperiments in which the patients see they can accomplish more than they thought. One of the methods Dr. Beck has developed in his 15 years of research on depression involves the patients' working their way up through a series of tasks of increasing difficulty.

At first the patient is asked to read a short paragraph aloud. He gradually increases his verbal skills until he is able to deliver a short talk, as if in a debate, trying to convince the therapist of his point of view. The patients must succeed at these taks if the therapy is to work, Beck said, because the depressed patient needs to reestablish his self-confidence. Being told he is wrong only serves to affirm the depressed persons's convinction that he is worthless. But before any of these treatments can be used it is necessary to get the patients, attention.

A depressed patient will often go to bed and refuse to get up, claiming he is too tired or that it simply isn't worth it to arise. One approach Dr. Beck has used to spark the interest of thest patients was to say: "I want to try an experiment and see how far you can walk. How far do you think you can walk?" The patient is grabbed by the idea of an experiment, although lis answer is usually, "only five or ten yards," Beck said. "Then I bet the patient he can walk IS yards, and he does," the researcher said.

"So when I point this out, the pa- ient has to admit he was wrong and underestimated himself." Dr. Beck's treatment attacks depression--starting with what he patient thinks limself--much more directly han more orthodox procedures. These older approaches involved getting the patient angry, or getting him to express his ad feelings, or giving him varmth and sympathy or in- need to suf- er," Beck said. These tactics often served inly to increase the patient's "eelings of sadness or self- ilanie, although they could be sed as part of the more direct approach he advocates, Dr. Beck said, if anger leads the atient to feel masterful.

Although drugs and electro- convulsant therapy a epression one of the most asily treated of mental disorders, the traditional "talking terapy" can be useful in at- acking underlying problems, nd in treating patients to tave off a crisis until drugs shock therapy can be ar- anged.
