This book constitutes a major new resource for professionals
working with hard core smokers and their families. It is designed
as a practical, clinically useful and up-to-date guide for all
those in a position to intervene: mental health professionals,
physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and other health care
professionals, clergy, human resource and employee assistance
program corporate staff, and teachers and guidance
counselors.
New research suggests that difficult-to-treat smokers often have
emotional problems adjusting to stopping smoking. Some also have
psychiatric diagnoses or abuse other substances. These are factors
which interfere with their efforts to quit.
Because these difficulties have been poorly understood, hard-core
smokers have not been provided with adequate resources and skills
to overcome their addiction. These smokers are in need of
increasingly comprehensive assessment and treatment.
Despite massive public health education about the dangers of
cigarette smoking, rates of smoking among the population are no
longer declining in the United States and the success rates of
clinical programs for smokers remain low. "Helping the Hard-Core
Smoker" seeks to explain why current approaches are often
inadequate and how best to help today's highly nicotine-dependent
smokers who are struggling with their addiction quit.
