The symptoms are loss of energy and in- terest, feelings of hope- _lessness, anger and dissatisfaction and, above ‘ all, frustration. Everyone’s met a sales clerk who radiates hostility and paranoia or seen a bus driver who jumps up yelling “So why don’t YOU try driving the bus, Mister!”, but most people, including the clerk and the driver, don't, really know what’ s wrong, ~ . Burnout is most common in people who work with the public, who have respon- sibility without control of a situation, but it also occurs in people who are financially bound to a job, creative people who feel stymied in a large organization, women at home or even people in relationships. To help those people to cope, counsellors the volunteers. ve Joyce Horton and Joyce Statton have developed a course called “Burnout Intervention” which will be run at Capilano College in January. Gestalt therapist Joyce Horton first learned to deal with burnout when she worked at the Vancouver Crisis Centre where the tense environment and demanding work are a severe strain‘on _ “Many people working in places such as hospitals who are naturally compassionate, caring and giving, have very high expectations of what they should do,” she says. They try to handle everything but don’t take their own needs into ac- count. The result, says Stratton, is that “the gap between their expectations and what they can actually do is so w course tackles great that they're in for constant disappointment.” They burn out. In their course Horton and Stratton will be teaching people to first recognize their own reactions and then develop a_ constructive approach to avoid burnout. The class will give them an opportunity to experiment with new behaviours, try to set limits, modify objectives, improve cogamunication and become aware of their own emotional responses. : “They will work out the problems: themselves,” said Horton. “We simply help to facilitate that.” Burnout Intervention will be held Monday nights from 7 to 10 p.m. for eight weeks starting January 19. The fee is $55 and information on registration is available by phoning Capilano College at 986-1911, local 321. Courtroom.sketches | of famous trials shown Cameras, unlike artists, are not allowed in Canadian courtrooms — a fact which has led to a current ecxhibi- tion of special interest at the Presentation House Gallery, 333 Chesterfield, North Vancouver. Entitled “A Day In Court,” it consists of 100 sketches and watercolors from the portfolios of courtroom artists Kelly Phillips, Glen Patterson and_ Alain Boullard. The fascination of the drawings lies in their revela- tion of the role of the artist as an interpreter of court- room action -—- the artist's emotional role in reporting th@drama of jurisprudence. The exhibition covers five recent trials of particular interest to Lower Mainland residents: the Julius Kano trial; the David Duke (KKK) trial; the Ed. Murphy trial; the Ed McKitka trial, the Simonetti inquest; and the “coke mob" appearance before Judge Jones. The exhibition is open Wednesdays through Sundays from noon to 4:30 p-m. and continues until February |.
