Self-regulation therapy (Amigo, 1992) is a set of procedures derived f
rom cognitive skill training programs for increasing hypnotizability.
First, experiences are generated by actual stimuli. Clients are then a
sked to associate those experiences with various cues. They are then r
equested to generate the experiences in response to the cues, but with
out the actual stimuli. When they are able to do so quickly and easily
, therapeutic suggestions are given. Studies of self-regulation therap
y indicate that it can be used successfully to treat smoking.
