Book ID/图书代码： 03480517C00010

English Summary/英文概要： In ’The ABCS of Coping with Anxiety: Using CBT to Manage Stress and Anxiety’, James Cowart offers a concise collection of tried-and-tested strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and makes them accessible to people who are learning to cope with their anxiety on a day-to-day basis.

Anxiety is a normal part of our human nature. For spurring you to make decisions or perform, it can actually be helpful. However, an unchecked pattern of intrusive negative thoughts can escalate the severity and persistence of the level of anxiety experienced over time. As this worsens, it is not uncommon to feel an increasing lack of control ultimately leading to a chain of self-defeating behaviors that may negatively affect all aspects of your daily life. Yet, while it is not possible to directly control our emotions (or what others think or do), it is possible to learn and apply coping skills that can help you face feared situations rather than escape or avoid them.

James Cowart s aim in ’The ABCS of Coping with Anxiety’ is to share a toolbox of CBT techniques garnered over 40 years clinical practice that will enable you to manage your anxiety on a sustainable path toward taking back some of that control. These self-help strategies focus on developing key coping skills designed to reduce fear and anxiety, and are complemented by a user-friendly, step-by-step program of practical exercises that can be personalized to meet each individual s unique needs.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在“应对焦虑的基本方法”中，詹姆斯•柯沃特提供了一种简洁的测试方法，从认知行为疗法(CBT)中获得了一种经过验证的策略，并让那些学习如何处理日常焦虑的人可以接触到这些策略。

焦虑是我们人性的一部分。为了促使你做出决定或执行，它实际上是有帮助的。然而，一种不受约束的消极思想模式可能会使长期焦虑水平的严重性和持久性变得更严重。随着这种情况的恶化，越来越多的人感到越来越缺乏控制，最终会导致一系列自我挫败的行为，这些行为可能会对你的日常生活产生负面影响。然而，虽然不可能直接控制我们的情绪(或他人的想法或做法)，但我们有可能学习和运用应对技巧，这些技巧可以帮助你直面令人恐惧的情况，而不是一味地逃避。

詹姆斯•柯沃特的标题是“应对焦虑的基本方法”，是分享一个40多年的临床实践经验，这将使你能够在一种可持续的道路上管理你的焦虑，从而收回一些控制。这些自助策略侧重于开发关键的应对技巧，以减少恐惧和焦虑，并辅以用户一种友好的、循序渐进的实践练习，可以根据个人的需要定制个性化的练习。（WYL）

Awards/获奖情况：应对焦虑的基本方法是用一种非常直白、简单的方式写的，它让读者可以轻松地跟随它的指令和作者的思维过程。

’The ABCS of Coping with Anxiety’ is written in a beautifully straightforward, uncomplicated way that allows the reader to follow both its instruction and the author s thought process with ease.

I am not a cognitive behavioural therapist and, as such, I would look for root causes to illuminate the belief system that created the anxiety in the first place. James Cowart helps the reader to recognise their triggers and, by doing so, assists them to interrupt their self-defeating anxiety patterns. Anxiety is often caused as is eloquently explained in the book by lack of control, however I believe the direct, descriptive ABCS approach will help many in taking back some of that control by better recognising what they can and can t influence.

The ideas and explanations are clear and I have no doubt ’The ABCS of Coping with Anxiety’ will be a trusted companion for many in seeking coping strategies for their anxiety. --Alison Knowles, author of Ollie and His Super Powers

One of the most difficult aspects of suffering with stress and anxiety is knowing where to start the process of learning to cope. In ’The ABCS of Coping with Anxiety’, James Cowart provides an excellent point of reference to help you understand what will bring calm and composure back into your life.

You will learn the fundamental reasons why anxiety is affecting you, and how your current coping skills can be improved, once you start to employ the ABCS method.
