The agencys service group also will include hospitals in the surrounding area, including Hines Veterans Administration Hospital. LifeSource will be the largest blood provider in the state and one of the largest blood centers in the country, a LifeSource spokesperson said. The new agency will collect more than 160,000 units of blood during 1987 from more than 1,500 participating businesses, religious groups, schools and community organizations. A spokesperson for MacNeal said it will have a minor, but positive, effect by elimi- nating the competition for blood donors between the two agencies. Rosada Heintz, laboratory manager for the Loretto deparment of pathology, in which the hospitals blood bank is located, said the merger will certainly not affect in any way Loretto Hospitals programs for the donation of blood twice per year, in the spring and autumn.

Neaman, chairman of the board of direc-. tors of LifeSource, said the joint venture will be combining the strengths of two organizations which will enhance the level MacNeal affiliates offer programs I I I I 1 I I I I I I Reg.

One of them was Narcissus, who, as I recall, fell in love with his own reflection.

I have a very difficult wife, and in an attempt to try to understand her I talked to a friend of mine who is very interested in psychology and who knows my wife well. He told me he always believed she is narcissistic. He said she is too involved with herself, and he and his wife have always felt they could not get close to her. I feel the same way about her. He thinks this kind of person usually doesnt want to go to apsychotherapist.

What do you think about this? Of course, we dont know if your wife suffers from a narcissistic personality disorder, but we can tell you about what a person who does have one is like and whether therapy may help if the person is willing. mental health and you There are a number of characteristics of this type of disorder. The person who suffers from it (and he is suffering whether he knows it consciously or not) has many difficulties in relationships. He is very limited by the needs the disorder imposes on him and, thus, is unable to reach full potential. For example, he may expect special treatment he doesnt deserve from people because he may have 9 grand idea about himself and his own importance, getting very angry if he doesnt get his way.

We can see how this symptom would get in the way of his ability to be a good friend. It also could keep him from being promoted in his job even though he is very talented and bright. He may be unable to sense how others feel, and this may make him seem cold and indifferent. For example, a man we know and whom we consider to be narcissistic was planning a pleasure trip with his best friend. When tola his friend suffered a heart attack and could not go, the man ex ON ORDERS FLACED DURINti THU SPECIAL SALE ONLY I i 'tim an 1 KYOUNOKYOllini uuusaiiooi STARTS KIKSCH MINI BLINDS 50 OFF IPLEATED shades VERTICLE BUNDS 40 OFF INSTOCK SHADES CUT WHILE YOU WAIT 20 OFF CLASS MUSICAL DISCOVERY JAN.
