Book Description
Practitioners helping smokers to quit can be more effective by learning key therapeutic techniques aimed at increasing any smoker’s chances of success. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Smoking Cessation is a valuable guidebook to an empirically based CBT approach to smoking cessation that has been shown to be effective with or without the use of medications. This approach emphasizes techniques for enhancing the smoker’s motivation and confidence to quit, and teaching the smoker steps for preparing to quit, coping with the difficulties that emerge after quitting, and transitioning to become a long term nonsmoker. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Smoking Cessation offers the fundamental counseling strategies and interventions that have been established, researched, and refined over the past decade. This program outlines essential components that should be included in the treatment of any smoker, as well as steps to take when faced with smokers likely to have particular difficulty quitting. Unique to this volume is the inclusion of a specifically tailored CBT model designed to address weight gain concerns in the smoker. Perkins, Conklin, and Levine are leading researchers on effective smoking cessation intervention for those concerned about the potential gain in weight that accompanies quitting, and offer a flexible approach that allows the practitioner to tailor interventions to each individual. An invaluable addition to any health professional’s repertoire, the treatment model presented in this book provides practitioners with the tools necessary to help their clients to quit smoking.

Smoking Cessation with Weight Gain Prevention

Pages : 192

Book Description
Cigarette smoking is the single greatest preventable cause of death, disease, and disability in the United States. It is the number one cancer killer of women, surpassing breast cancer. More than 70% of smokers have expressed a desire to quit, but are unable to do so alone. Independent cessation is extremely difficult, with a long-term success rate of 3-9%.Couple this difficulty with the fact that many female (and some male) smokers do not even try to quit because they are afraid of the resulting weight gain, and it seems a near impossibility for smokers to quit alone. Any amount of counseling, from even one ten-minute session, drastically improves a person's chances for cessation success. Many therapists have clients who smoke, yet they do not encourage them to quit because they feel under-equipped to help them. There are very few books for mental health workers that teach smoking cessation techniques; almost all of the books on the market are self-help based. Of those that are for the clinician, most are not user-friendly at all, and none discuss the secondary concerns of weight gain. This guide teaches therapists, in easy to follow session modules, proven methods for their clients to stop smoking, and to avoid the resulting weight gain. Structured as a 16-week group program, this treatment teaches clients to break their smoking habit first, then to avoid replacing that habit with unhealthy eating. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), this treatment emphasizes skill-building and the use of self-monitoring forms (found in the accompanying workbook) to help clients take control of their health.

Book Description
"The Quit Smoking Answer" is structured in such a way that all readers follow a process of "cold turkey" cessation through a step-by-step system to become nicotine free. The system shared is quick, easy, and proven, regardless of a person's dependency on nicotine. If you have ever thought, "wouldn't it be nice to quit smoking" than you've set the mood and you're ready to begin. It's easier to quit nicotine than you think! JW Smith, a smoker for 40 years, wrote this book after ending his vicious cycle of numerous failed attempts to quit. His system for nicotine cessation evolved over a subsequent six-week period of preparation to quit. He shares his story about a conversation with his nine year-old granddaughter that finally set the wheels in motion to find a better way - one that works. JW researched smoking cessation methods and used his own experience to forge a new path. This book may very well be destined to be in a category by itself in the nicotine cessation world of recommendations and advice. Why? Because it works! JW makes the case that smoking cessation is not an event, but rather a process. His book will teach you the key cognitive techniques he used to end both the physical and psychological addictions to nicotine. It debunks myths about nicotine replacement therapy products and instead lays out a natural progression of steps for becoming a nonsmoker. The premise of the book is based on this famous quote; "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." In the beginning of the book it is recommended to establish an environment and path of least resistance. Less resistance to quit is the first key step to becoming nicotine free. It is recommended that readers continue the use tobacco products including e-cigarettes while reading the book over a two or three day period of time- helping again to establish less resistance to quit. He additionally recommends as a first step that you tell no one of your desire to quit - preventing anyone including yourself of sabotaging your intention. As you apply the techniques and methods written about it becomes a natural procession leading up to your very last cigarette or use of chewing tobacco. A transformation of your thinking takes place and ending your addiction will seem like an "almost non-event" - as something just happens to you as you read this book. You will be physically and mentally prepared to end your addiction after reading this one of a kind book. Free from nicotine for life - and all the great rewards that come with it!
