CUE CARDS FOR LIFE

Book ID/图书代码： 06489512B58540

English Summary/英文概要： With almost 7 billion people on the planet, we’re bound to run into communication problems sometime. And though we know healthy relationships and a sense of community are essential for a healthy, happy and successful life, some of us are not equipped or quite prepared to deal with the situations and the life transitions we sometimes face. Cue Cards for Life is a handy, intuitive “how to” guide that can be easily applied in real-life situations.

Cue cards are deceptively simple reminders and remedies that anyone can use to immediately improve just about any relationship. Each card is accompanied by a clear and encouraging explanation of the psychological principles that make the cue card work. These straightforward tips are so practical and downto- earth that anyone can use them to communicate effectively with others, minimize conflict and handle life transitions with greater ease.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 小小的溝通錯誤 積少成多卻可能毀掉一段關係
維護關係 增進溝通能力的關鍵提醒

每個人早就知道溝通的眉角，卻總是犯同樣的錯
我們只是需要最關鍵的那一句話

每個人都有好好溝通，增進自我人際關係的能力。只是我們常常忘記在需要用到之時施展出來，事後才想著「早知道當時就怎樣怎樣」而懊悔許久。小小的表達錯誤，累積起來卻可能毀掉一段關係！

擁有數十年的執業經驗，婚姻及家庭諮詢師Christina Steinorth為協助許多諮詢者找到更好的溝通模式，她製作「提示小卡」(Cue Cards)，卡片上只有精簡的一句話，但卻是增進溝通的關鍵所在！

本書以不同的關係模式分章節，除了關鍵語的提示小卡外，也安插個案實例，從如何當個好的傾聽者開始，談到愛情關係的溝通、婚姻以及親戚的溝通、父母與青少年的溝通、與年邁父母溝通的技巧、職場溝通、社交技巧溝通，以及該如何好好道歉的技巧。(Eva)

《部分Cue Cards節錄》

溝通基本篇：
- Address awkward situations; don’t avoid or ignore them.

Awards/获奖情况：“A very helpful book and a very easy read.”— Susan Forward, Ph.D., New York Times best-selling author of Toxic Parents and Emotional Blackmail

“Cue Cards for Life is a great recipe for how to make the best of all your relationships and manage the issues that we all face. The strategies in the book are practical and easy to use — you’ll enjoy reading them all!”— Dr. Terri Orbuch, Relationship expert, therapist, and author of 5 Simple Steps to Take Your Relationship from Good to Great

“This book gives great practical advice with a ‘nuts-and-bolts’ approach to the relationships we all have in our lives. The Cue Cards give you the the ‘basic gems’ or guidelines that we should be mindful of when we are interacting with others we care about. The author then provides examples for the reader, or the ‘how to’s and whys of communication.’” — Kristy Shadt, MFT, RPT-S, SEP

“This is a great book for everyone who wants to improve their relationships and who hasn’t got a relationship that could be improved. The simplicity and straightforward approach of Cue Cards for Life is compelling and powerful. I am looking forward to recommending this book to my clients and to my classes in family relationships. When all is said and done, the most important thing in a person’s life is their relationships. This book empowers people to get the most from those relationships. Congratulations, Ms. Steinorth, your book is spectacular and fun. What a rare find!” — Lee Reid, PhD, MFT

“As a licensed therapist with a practice consisting primarily of teenagers and their families, I found the ‘Cue Cards for Parents with Teens’ section particularly useful. Steinorth has managed to highlight the most significant dimensions of a healthy parent– teen relationship and has provided a framework for communication that parents can easily build upon. For those families unable to spend a large amount of time and money in therapy, Cue Cards for Life can be a wonderful resource for healing and health in their family.”— Monique Muther, MA, MFT San Diego, CA
