Book excerpt: While the past 40 years have seen significant declines in adult smoking, this is not the case among young adults, who have the highest prevalence of smoking of all other age groups. At a time when just about everyone knows that smoking is bad for you, why do so many college students smoke? Is it a short lived phase or do they continue throughout the college years? And what happens after college, when they enter the “real world”? Drawing on interviews and focus groups with hundreds of young adults, Lighting Up takes the reader into their everyday lives to explore social smoking. Mimi Nichter argues that we must understand more about the meaning of social and low level smoking to youth, the social contexts that cause them to take up (or not take up) the habit, and the way that smoking plays a large role in students’ social lives. Nichter examines how smoking facilitates social interaction, helps young people express and explore their identity, and serves as a means for communicating emotional states. Most college students who smoked socially were confident that “this was no big deal.” After all, they were “not really smokers” and they would only be smoking for a short time. But, as graduation neared, they expressed ambivalence or reluctance to quit. As many grads today step into an uncertain future, where the prospect of finding a good job in a timely manner is unlikely, their 20s may be a time of great stress and instability. For those who have come to depend on the comfort of cigarettes during college, this array of life stressors may make cutting back or quitting more difficult, despite one’s intentions and understandings of the harms of tobacco. And emerging products on the market, like e-cigarettes, offer an opportunity to move from smoking to vaping. Lighting Up considers how smoking fits into the lives of young adults and how uncertain times may lead to uncertain smoking trajectories that reach into adulthood.

Book excerpt: This book addresses the unique sociocultural and historical systems of oppression that have alienated African-American and other racial minority patients within the mental healthcare system. This text aims to build a novel didactic curriculum addressing racism, justice, and community mental health as these issues intersect clinical practice. Unlike any other resource, this guide moves beyond an exploration of the problem of racism and its detrimental effects, to a practical, solution-oriented discussion of how to understand and approach the mental health consequences with a lens and sensitivity for contemporary justice issues. After establishing the historical context of racism within organized medicine and psychiatry, the text boldly examines contemporary issues, including clinical biases in diagnosis and treatment, addiction and incarceration, and perspectives on providing psychotherapy to racial minorities. The text concludes with chapters covering training and medical education within this sphere, approaches to supporting patients coping with racism and discrimination, and strategies for changing institutional practices in mental healthcare. Written by thought leaders in the field, Racism and Psychiatry is the only current tool for psychiatrists, psychologists, administrators, educators, medical students, social workers, and all clinicians working to treat patients dealing with issues of racism at the point of mental healthcare.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smoking is the number one cause of preventable illness and premature death in the United States (Karnath, 2003). Undergraduate college students are developing life long smoking behaviors during their college years (Wechsler, Kelley, Seibring, Kuo, & Rigotti, 2001). Nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion hydrochloride, and counseling are the traditional smoking cessation methods that are being utilized by the adult population. Much research has been completed on the effectiveness of nicotine replacement therapy, counseling, and the use of bupropion hydrochloride. No research study has looked at a global comparison of the various strategies. Furthermore, of the research that is available, a minimal amount looks at the college population. This study is a descriptive survey study that looked at 50 undergraduate college students who are current or past smokers. The subjects completed the Smoking Behaviors Survey. Once the survey was completed the researcher examined the various strategies utilized and personal attributes among undergraduate college students who have been successful at smoking cessation compared to those undergraduate college students who have not been successful at smoking cessation. In this study, undergraduate college students utilized cold turkey as a smoking cessation method a majority of the time. There were no personal attributes dominant among those participants who were successful at smoking cessation compared to those participants who were unsuccessful at smoking cessation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practitioners helping smokers to quit can be more effective by learning key therapeutic techniques aimed at increasing any smoker's chances of success. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Smoking Cessation is a valuable guidebook to an empirically based CBT approach to smoking cessation that has been shown to be effective with or without the use of medications. This approach emphasizes techniques for enhancing the smoker's motivation and confidence to quit, and teaching the smoker steps for preparing to quit, coping with the difficulties that emerge after quitting, and transitioning to become a long term nonsmoker. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Smoking Cessation offers the fundamental counseling strategies and interventions that have been established, researched, and refined over the past decade. This program outlines essential components that should be included in the treatment of any smoker, as well as steps to take when faced with smokers likely to have particular difficulty quitting. Unique to this volume is the inclusion of a specifically tailored CBT model designed to address weight gain concerns in the smoker. Perkins, Conklin, and Levine are leading researchers on effective smoking cessation intervention for those concerned about the potential gain in weight that accompanies quitting, and offer a flexible approach that allows the practitioner to tailor interventions to each individual. An invaluable addition to any health professional's repertoire, the treatment model presented in this book provides practitioners with the tools necessary to help their clients to quit smoking.
