由于1976年的干旱、随后的经济压力和人员变动，加利福尼亚州奥克兰东湾市政公用事业区的员工在巨大压力下工作了大约五年。本文重点介绍了学区实施的压力管理计划，并提供了有关该主题的有用书籍的注释书目。讨论了自生训练，即对身体的自我控制，并描述了自我监控练习。项目的后续行动还包括使用biodots，这是一种生物反馈技术，依靠颜色来指示皮肤温度的变化，而皮肤温度反过来又指示紧张或放松的程度。包括9个参考文献、表格、图表。

Due to drought conditions in 1976, subsequent economic strains, and changes in personnel, employees of the East Bay Municipal Utility District in Oakland, California were working under tremendous stress for approximately five years. This article highlights the stress management program implemented by the district and provides an annotated bibliography of useful books on the subject. Autogenic training, self-generated control over one's body, is discussed and self-monitoring exercises are described. Program follow-up also included the use of biodots, a biofeedback technique relying on color for indications of changes in skin temperature, which in turn indicate degrees of tension or relaxation. Includes 9 references, table, figures.
