Book ID/图书代码： 04410012B54298
English Summary/英文概要： Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, is one of the most common illnesses in the world, affecting approximately 20 per cent of the population. Medical treatments are only moderately effective at treating the symptoms and no cure has yet been reported. Most experts now agree that the present focus in IBS should be on improving the patient’s quality of life, which is exactly what Better Living with IBS sets out to achieve. By making use of the highly respected psychological approach known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), it focuses on helping the patient live a more vital, fulfilling life.The ACT approach proposes that most of the suffering experienced by IBS patients comes from the feeling of missing-out on valued life activities.
It also proposes that most of the suffering comes from over-focusing or trying to get rid of IBS experiences such as symptoms, negative thoughts or emotions. ACT offers an alternative solution of simply accepting them. If unwanted experiences caused by IBS are accepted and not struggled with, then the person will have more time, energy and willingness to engage in activities that really matter in life. The book is structured in a simple, user-friendly workbook format, and includes numerous practical exercises to help the reader implement the approach effectively in their own life.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 肠易激综合症（IBS）是世界上最常见的疾病之一,大约影响20%的人口。在对该病的治疗上，医学疗法效果一般，尚未公布能治愈的疗法。多数专家认为,当前治疗IBS应侧重于改善患者的生活质量,这正是《让IBS患者更好地生活》致力于实现的目标。通过使用接受与承诺疗法(ACT)这一备受推崇的心理疗法,本书重在帮助患者过上更富活力、更充实的生活。
ACT疗法提出，IBS患者经历的绝大多数痛苦源于错过宝贵生命活动的缺失感。
本书还提出，多数痛苦源于过度关注或试图摆脱IBS的经历，如症状、负面想法或情绪。ACT提供了替代疗法，即简单地接受它们。如果能接受由IBS导致的痛苦经历而不与之对抗，则患者能有更多时间、精力和意愿来参加人生中至关重要的活动。本书采用工作手册的样式，既简单，又便于理解。同时，本书内含大量实用练习，以帮助读者在自己的生活中有效实施该疗法。(LNL)
