I JUST WANT TO BE ME!: BUILDING RESILIENCE IN YOUNG PEOPLE
Book ID/图书代码： 04410010B34418
English Summary/英文概要： Today’s children struggle with a range of issues, from depression and anxiety to poor body image and low self-esteem. In fact, research suggests that at any given time around 10 per cent of students will be suffering from a mental health issue that directly impacts on their education and health.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (the subject of Dr Russ Harris bestselling ’The Happiness Trap’) has been proven to be effective in teaching young people effective, flexible strategies for dealing with the stressors in their life and these principles are now brought to life in this graphic novel.
By following the main character, Holly, through her encounters with monsters (symbolising her inner doubts and unpleasant thoughts), children will learn how to similarly deal with their own issues and develop a more resilient mental attitude and achieve better emotional balance.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 現在全世界的兒童生活與成長，面臨著諸多方面的問題。其中包括憂鬱、焦慮、缺乏自信心以及對於自身形象的信心匱乏。事實上研究證明，在學生群體中，有近百分之十的人患有相關的心理問題，這將為他們的學習與成長帶來的負面影響。
經證實，接納與投入療法(簡稱ACT療法) (在羅斯‧哈里斯的暢銷著作《快樂是一種陷阱》中，曾對該療法進行了詳盡討論)，可以充分有效地幫助年輕人，正確應對生活中所出現的眾多壓力困擾。而在本書中，作者Timothy Bowden ＆ Sandra Bowden以圖文並茂的方式，以非常簡單易讀的故事給年輕讀者及家長，了解ACT療法的好處。
本書的主角名叫荷莉，透過她與一群怪物之間的離奇遭遇 (隱射了荷莉內心存在的種種焦慮及負面思想)，年輕讀者可以從中學習到如何正確應對心理問題，並以一種積極向上的心態去維護自身健康和良好的情緒。(Andy & Chris)
