Overview
The epidemic of nicotine dependence presents a serious problem for contemporary medicine and public health. The most effective approach to the treatment of nicotine dependence is a combination of pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Pharmacotherapy has its own advertising campaign from manufacturers and we have enough information about this approach. However, we have very little information about psychotherapy of nicotine dependence, and its effective and systematic application is rare. The article describes the basic constructs of Transtheoretical model of behavioural changes and its application on a sample of adolescent smokers. The aim of the present study is to introduce an integrated psychotherapy approach to the treatment of nicotine dependence.
Key words:
transtheoretical model, processes of change, stages of change, motivation to smoking cessation, nicotine dependence, psychotherapy.
