Comparison of hypnosis plus counseling, counseling alone, and hypnosis alone in a community service smoking withdrawal program

3- and 10-mo follow-up data on 48 volunteers in a smoking withdrawal program indicate that neither hypnosis alone nor group contact alone yielded satisfactory results; however, the combined use of these procedures yielded a fairly high success rate (56.25 and 50% for the 3- and 10-mo assessments, respectively).
