Abstract
The article describes and demonstrates a short‐term psychotherapeutic intervention model for smoking cessations, which integrates behaviour and cognitive apparatus with hypnotic techniques. This model puts exclusive emphasis on examination, creation and intensification of the patient's motivation to eradicate the habit, by strengthening self‐control, integrating suggestions that are tuned to the patient's needs, and using aversion techniques in the hypnotic state.
This model has been found efficient in our clinical work, can be used to treat other habit disorders and creates an opportunity for empirical research that examines the efficacy of this integrative model as compared to other methods.
