ABSTRACT

George is a teenager whose father wanted me to see him about getting him to stop smoking cigarettes and other dangerous things. (George was also interested in stopping.) The guided imagery session using hypnosis (which is much used for stopping habits like this) involved being in various special locations around our small village, and also the assistance of two of his high school teachers. All of these (which he selected) were used in this session. When George left he said that he knew he was going to stop smoking.
