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.

Comorbidity of alcoholism and major depression may exert a detrimental effect on the likelihood of smoking cessation. This study evaluated whether smoking cessation is enhanced by treatment of depression in recovering alcoholics with major depression history. Subjects were 29 (15 female, 14 male) adult, recovering alcoholics with an average of 6.8 years of continuous alcohol sobriety. They were randomly assigned to a 12-week program of: (1) Brand Fading Alone (BF) (n = 16), or (2) Brand Fading + Cognitive-Behavioral Depression Therapy (CBT) (n = 13). The major assessments occurred at baseline, post-treatment (1-week post-quit), and at 1- and 3-month follow-ups. The dependent variables were verified point-prevalence smoking abstinence rates and measures of nicotine withdrawal symptoms, including depression. At both the post-treatment and 1-month follow-up periods, 69.2% (9 of 13) of subjects in the CBT condition were abstinent from smoking compared with 31.3% (5 of 16) of those in the BF group, X2(1, N = 29) = 4.144, p =.0417. At 3-month follow-up, subjects in the CBT condition were more likely to report smoking abstinence (46.2% (6 of 13)) than those in the BF group (25.0% (4 of 16)), although group differences were not significant. One-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), using baseline scores as covariates, showed that post-treatment ratings on the Nicotine Withdrawal Questionnaire-Mood differed significantly between groups, with lower mean scores for participants in the CBT condition, F (1, 24) = 4.408, p =.038. No significant group differences emerged on the Profile of Mood States, measures of depression (Beck Depression Inventory, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression), or on measures of cognitive processes, at post-treatment or 1-month follow-up. Initial treatment differences in smoking outcome were not apparently mediated by changes in depression or cognitive processes. It is concluded that adjunctive depression therapy is useful in facilitating short-term smoking cessation, yet, more effective maintenance interventions are needed to bolster long-term abstinence rates.

Have you ever tried to give up smoking? Most smokers have. It is even more difficult to avoid relapse - after days, weeks or even years - and the long-term results of many stop smoking programmes are disappointing. But this week-long programme can help you stop smoking for good. Professor David F Marks uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which has been proven to be effective by teaching you how to 're-program' your mind to not want to smoke. You will no longer have to rely on willpower alone to give up smoking. By becoming aware of your smoking triggers and dealing with the thoughts and behaviours that lead you to smoke automatically, over the course of a week you will gradually find your cravings disappear altogether. You will learn: · Exercises and strategies to help you regain control from your smoking automatic pilot · Advice on relaxation and stress reduction · How to avoid future relapses · Why alternative approaches such nicotine replacement therapy or e-cigarettes are less effective · Tips on healthy eating and exercise to manage weight Stop Smoking Now will help you not only give up your habit, but help you to remain a non-smoker for life. Overcoming self-help guides use clinically proven techniques to treat long-standing and disabling conditions, both psychological and physical.
