Excerpt from Two Studies in Self-Directed Change For several years, the authors have been working to develop and test a simple method for self-directed behavior change. In more than fifty indivi dual case studies we have found that most individuals report some degree of success in their efforts to change with this method. Schwitzgebel (1964) has analyzed a group of these case studies to determine factors important in producing change. Zachs (1965) used an adaptation of the method to test its effectiveness with college students who were trying to reduce cigarette smoking. The group of students who used the method showed a 53% decrease in the number of cigarettes smoked (compared to control students who showed a 17% decrease). A 51 day follow-up indicated only a slight regression in these figures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
