SMOKING CESSATION
According to the Lynne and Kirsch (2006,p.81) hypnosis is the method that perhaps give us the best result in order to help the patient to over come with the habit of smoking. In sequence to achieve this result Lynne and Kirsch believe that by using the “Treatment Component” during the sessions patient be capable of cope with the routine of smoking.(2006,p.82-83).
A number of this components are as the following order
* Hypnosis as self-hypnosis
* Cognitive and behavioral skills
* Enhancing motivation and self-efficacy
* Relapse prevention and gain maintenance
* Contracting and social support
Lynne and Kirsch has convinced that given the cognitive behavioral techniques are operative in the treatment of smoking cessation, it could be a comprehensive treatment.(2006,p.81).
In the other point of view of authors(Lynne and Kirsch,2006,p.96), considering the treatment on the aspect of experimental and clinical for each person it should provide the specific suggestions in order to cope with his/her thoughts of smoking and this result often would not show after 5 sessions . The authors has stated that there are a lot of methods such as video taping and two-chairs that individual involves a motivation to leads a patient confirm that they are nonsmoker(Lynne and Kirsch,2006,p96-97).
CRITIQUE
As the authors, Lynne and Kirsch intended in their book “Essential of Clinical Hypnosis“(2006,p96), patients could over come on their habit of smoking by going through the specific hypnosis program which surprisingly involved a number of different method that all are working on words, challenging questions and also on the cognitive behavioral of them in order to make an strong motivation to reach the complete satisfaction. For me it was fairly a surprise that how effective could be for your health and brain if you use strong and clear sentences along process of hypnosis in order to rebuttals your smoking habit.

HYPNOSIS
According to the authors of the book “Essentials of Clinical Hypnosis” Lynn and Kirsch (2006, p.3-4), they have agreed on the following description of hypnosis, which has been originally adopted by Division 30(Society of Psychological Hypnosis) of the American Psychological Association (APA):
