Book ID/图书代码： 09700015B85300

English Summary/英文概要： There is an alternative to 12-step! You can reduce almost any type of addictive behavior -- from drinking to sex, eating, and the Internet -- with this practical and effective workbook. Treats addictive behaviors in general, not one at a time -- because if you’re prone to addictions, you’ve probably got more than one. Addictive behavior can result from the use of almost any substance, or involvement in almost any activity. The harm that results from the addictive behavior, and the individual’s difficulty in controlling it, is what matters. Supported by scientific research, Dr. Horvath approaches addiction as a bad habit, not a disease. He emphasizes taking responsibility, without requiring an allegiance to a "higher power," and teaches general principles of addictive behavior change, so readers can apply them as often as they need. Horvath teaches the consequences (and even possible benefits) of addictive behavior, alternative coping methods, choice, understanding and dealing with urges, building a new lifestyle, preventing relapse. Includes dozens of exercises, self-study questions, guidelines for individual change plans.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 现在，你可以凭借这本适用而有效的指南，减轻包括酗酒、暴饮暴食、网络成瘾等在内的所有成瘾行为。本书可同时治疗多种成瘾行为，因为人很容易同时形成多个成瘾行为。成瘾行为可能源于几乎所有的物质或活动。问题的关键在于成瘾行为所造成的损害以及个体在控制此类行为方面遇到的困难。本书作者基于科学研究，将成瘾行为视为一种坏习惯，而非疾病。他强调负责任的重要性，并认为无需借助对“更高权威”的服从，读者只需采用改变成瘾行为的普遍原则即可做出改变。作者在书中为读者介绍的内容包括成瘾行为的后果（甚至可能产生的好处）、多种可选的应对方法、选择、理解并处理冲动、建立全新的生活方式、预防反弹等。书中还包括多种练习、自我研究问卷、个人改变计划指南等。（LYR）
