The Motivational Impact of Nicotine and its Role in Tobacco Use draws upon research on the drug widely believed to form the basis of tobacco use and dependence, nicotine. When discussing drug addiction and dependence, an increasing number of scientists are using the concepts of motivation and related constructs (e.g., incentive processes, cravings, drug seeking, etc.) and their applications in modifying behavior. The chapter authors discuss effective strategies for decreasing tobacco use and preventing initiation through a translational approach in which genetic, neurobiological, individual, and cultural factors motivating tobacco use and nicotine dependence are considered.Paperback: 224 pages Company: Springer (2010-11-19) ISBN: 1441926992 List Price: $99.00 Amazon Price: $94.45 Used Price: $84.49 
Nicotine consumed via cigarettes is one of the more addictive, as well as destructive, substances of abuse. Most--if not all--smokers desire to stop at some point. Nicotine Dependence presents an in-depth review and examination of the available techniques and methods that clinicians can use to effectively treat this condition. Because there is an abundance of information available about tobacco use and nicotine dependence, Dodgen has thoughtfully selected topics that offer practical value and are specific to the clinician's role. The book synthesizes current theoretical and clinical research about nicotine dependence. It presents the psychosocial and pharmacological reasons for dependence and discusses counseling and pharmacological treatment methods, specifically those that have demonstrated effectiveness. The author also explains principles of assessment, relapse causes and interventions, as well as treatment in special populations. The book also includes a useful, detailed, step-by-step, 10-session treatment and assessment model that clinicians can use to develop an individual plan for their clients.Author: Charles E.

This book reviews the scientific foundation for genetic studies of nicotine use and dependence. The authors and editors perform an admirable job synthesizing the expanding literature in the field and developing a scientifi c blueprint for the integration of genetic approaches into transdisciplinary studies of nicotine dependence. This seminal work should be examined in the context of global public health action on tobacco prevention and control as well as advances in genomics and related technologies.Author: National Cancer Institute Kindle Edition: 909 pages Kindle eBook Company: (2011-02-25) (2011-02-25) List Price: $9.99 Amazon Price: This digital document is an article from Psychopharmacology Educational Updates (PsychEd Up), published by NEI Press, Inc. on December 1, 2010.

How to stop patients and clients smoking guidance on treatments that work, from leading US authorities.This volume in the series Advances in Psychotherapy Evidence-Based Practice provides health care providers with practical and evidence-based guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of nicotine and tobacco dependence. Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the world, and it is the only legally available consumer product that kills people when used entirely as intended. Research over the past several decades has led to the development of a number of evidence-based treatments for nicotine and tobacco dependence that can be delivered by health care professionals in a variety of primary and specialty care settings. This book aims to increase medical, mental health, and dental practitioners access to empirically supported interventions for nicotine and tobacco dependence, with the hope that these methods will be incorporated into routine clinical practice. The book is both a compact how-to reference for clinicians and an ideal educational resource for students and for practice-oriented continuing education. The volume includes tables, boxed clinical pearls, and clinical vignettes, and the appendix includes clinical tools, patient handouts, and links to the top recommended websites for the download of additional patient materials.

Despite the prevalence of both pharmaceutical and behavioral approaches to encourage cessation, over a billion people still indulge in tobacco. Even in the U.S., where tobacco use is considered a clearly treatable and socially regrettable condition, a significant percentage of individuals remain resistant to treatment modalities. It is believed that the problem lies with the availability, the effectiveness, and the tolerance of the treatments. Thus, the development of new and more effective medications for treating nicotine dependence is an area of significant therapeutic importance, and one made increasingly more viable given our rapidly increasing knowledge about the actions of nicotine and tobacco components on the brain. “We are entering a Renaissance period … that promises to provide us with improved pharmacological tools to tackle this most serious of worldwide public health problems.” -- from the Preface Medication Treatments for Nicotine Dependence assembles contributions from leading researchers and clinicians to provide the most comprehensive volume on current and future possibilities for addressing nicotine and tobacco dependence with medication. Organized into six sections, this important work covers— Basic pharmacology and physiology of nicotine and nicotinic receptors First-line medications for nicotine addiction, including NRTs and sustained release bupropion Second-line medications including antidepressants, inhibitors, and antagonists Promising treatments currently in development Special topics such as the combination of medications with behavioral treatments and pharmacogenetic approaches to treatment The text concludes with the presentation of two unique perspectives on the development of medications for nicotine dependence and its implications for clinical practice. Medication Treatments for Nicotine Dependence serves as a useful primer and resource for established investigators, as well as those new to the research; for students from a range of disciplines, including pharmacology, psychology, public health, and medicine; and for those clinicians actively engaged in the treatment of nicotine dependence.

This attitude is in sharp contrast to the earlier prevailing atmosphere of disinterest, ignorance, and professional disdain. These changes created an obvious need for a text for clinicians working with nicotine dependent patients. This book is designed especially for practicing physicians in all specialties, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and counselors. It gives an opportunity to become familiar with the most common methods of treatment. Readers will be able to pull practical treatment methods from the text and apply them in their own practices.
