How does the program work?
While other programs and products generally provide short-term, band-aid solutions,
Living Smart treats the root emotional causes of your dependent behavior.
This method, called structural cognitive training, teaches and empowers
you to make rational rather than emotional decisions about drinking.
Critical Analysis/Program Review
The following critical evaluation is provided by John E. Martin, Ph.D.
- Professor of Psychology and Director, Behavioral Medicine Clinic at San Diego State University
and Scott T. Walters, Ph.D.
- University of Texas – School of Public Health
Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas
It consists of two major parts,
(1) a process-focused overview of the SelfHelpWorks (SHW) programs in general,
(2) a content-specific, comparative analysis of the SHW programs versus other Internet-based lifestyle
management programs.
We find the SHW’s Programs (Living Free, Living Lean and Living Smart)
to be safe and scientifically sound, based on the highest standards in the field of behavior change
and Internet-based lifestyle management interventions. The SHW’s approach to smoking cessation is
consistent with well-established theories of cognitive-behavioral psychology, such as bibliotherapy,
behavioral self-control training, behavioral-economic theory and acceptance and commitment theory.
Most importantly, two especially unique and positive features employed across the three lifestyle management intervention
sites is SHW’s unique employment of methods designed to empower personal choice as well as
urge- approach conditioning/desensitization.
Some might
consider this to be counter-intuitive as it is a non-traditional approach in addressing and
eliminating the urge to smoke, eat, or drink compulsively. However, it is a scientifically sensible employment of method (the encouragement of choice behavior and urge approach),
rather than attempting to run from powerful urges through ways of advoidance. We believe that using the urge to smoke, drink, or eat as an advocate facilitates the normal
desensitization process and disables the power of these urges to cause emotional crisis and
compulsive/addictive behavior and relapse. Clients are taught in creative and effective ways
to “dance” rather than rather than the more standard and less effective urge-avoidance/escape
techniques which are to “wrestle” or fight with the urge – the latter which often leads to failure
to withstand an urge and giving in to its pull.
Further, the staff at SHW was found to be highly motivated, very competent and self-directed, and
clearly committed to the future success of the company and their clients.
