About the Book

As a tool for therapists this workbook provides a clear direction or plan of attack. It will help them reinforce the content of messages communicated in treatment; it will increase the active emotional, cognitive, and behavioral participation of their clients; it will provide structure; and it will help keep clients from neglecting critical issues.

This workbook is organized around three critical phases to assist counselors and therapists. Phase one includes the first few days or weeks after quitting when there is an intense desire to smoke and the client is at greatest risk of relapsing. Phase two addresses how to adjust to life without the comfort of smoking when many emotional and social situations are impacting the client's ability to stay off tobacco. And the third long-term phase addresses how to avoid a relapse or slip, and when such a return to smoking occurs how to recover immediately.
