| Summary |
"A book that compares the evidence supporting the various treatment interventions and products is a necessity for the psychologist interested in helping smokers who want to maximize their chances of successfully mastering their smoking addiction. Clinicians of various disciplines in the mental health and medical fields will also greatly benefit from this information. This simple rationale serves as the basis for the publication of this book"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved) |
