Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Smoking Cessation is an essential resource for healthcare providers assisting patients in quitting tobacco smoking, presenting a structured approach that utilizes key components of CBT. This second edition provides empirically supported strategies for smoking cessation, adhering to well-established best practices and representing a "gold standard" in treatment. It presents step-by-step techniques to enhance patients’ motivation and confidence, prepare them to quit, navigate postquit challenges, and achieve long-term abstinence. This updated edition takes a patient-centered approach, addressing significant challenges faced during cessation and offering providers a systematic framework for delivering care. Notably, this volume introduces an adjunct CBT module specifically designed for patients very concerned about gaining weight after quitting—a unique and validated approach that aids cessation efforts and is not available in other resources. The book also includes new case vignettes, provider scripts, sidebars addressing common patient concerns, and key takeaways. Additionally, an extensive e-resource provides links to supplementary materials and further readings, equipping providers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds with the tools needed to effectively support patients. A must-have resource on the bookshelf of any health professional treating clients with tobacco dependence.
