Who created/came up with the idea of using rubber bands to stop addictions?

Question by Lady Raven: Who created/came up with the idea of using rubber bands to stop addictions?
Many people talk about using rubber bands around your wrist to stop addictions, negative thoughts etc. I was wondering who first came up with that idea- and are their any books that talk about it.
I am trying to find out who first used this therapy, how did they come up with the idea. Did they write a book about it. People know about using rubber bands to change habits but no one seems to know where the idea came from.
