虽然 #AbnormalPsychology 本来也是美国人写的教科书，书里自己也承认现代（心理学）研究的一大局限性是研究对象大部分是西方世界的，但是我看到整本书不断在讲美国这个美国那个的还是好不舒服。。今天看了三十页之后感觉自己的美国浓度已经过量了，刚看到时间线上有人推荐一本题材我很感兴趣的书，但由于是美国XXX学会出品的我立刻就划过去了。。
我对美国本身没有太大的意见，就是觉得那边很多东西跟我一点儿关系也没有，不知道为什么哪里都要看到美国。展翅翱翔就是美国人出品的桌游，里面也都是些美洲的鸟儿，我不认识，玩起来很不得劲。后来发现有欧洲扩展版，我马上就买了，这才看到那么多从小就熟知的鸟儿，别提多开心了。

读到：
In cases of social anxiety disorder, the therapists encourage clients to immerse themselves in various dreaded social situations and to remain there until their fears subside. Usually the exposure is gradual. Then, using a cognitive-focused intervention, the clinicians and clients reexamine and challenge the individuals’ maladaptive beliefs and expectations in light of the recent social encounters.
In cognitive-behavioral approaches of this kind, clients come to adopt more accurate social beliefs, engage in more social situations, and experience less fear during, and in anticipation of, social encounters. Avoidance and safety behaviors drop away, while social approach behaviors are reinforced by opening the door to the joy and enrichment of social encounters.
心情有点复杂。。我不知道我是不是 social anxiety disorder，我确实极力避免社交场合，只跟熟人打交道，觉得自己缺乏社交技巧，但是我在社交场合里的 anxiety 并不来源于担心自己的表现不完美，而是来源于一种巨大的无聊感，以及忍受大量的无聊感之后才能享受到一点点的交换信息的好处，以及大家都期望我社交，所以怕自己不社交让人失望。为什么这段文字里把社交描述成一个绝对积极的东西，joy，enrichment，给我一种治疗同性恋的即视感。

话说这本书我上大学之前就想看，现在十年过去了我终于翻开了…
读的是最新的 11 版，发现第一章绝大多数引用都是 2019 和 2020 年的，而且加入了一些 COVID-19 相关内容，比如以前 telemental health service 难以推广，比如保险不支持、从业人员担心技术安全，疫情之后突然就受到了大家的欢迎。
教材更新到这种力度，真的是好活跃的领域！
