The Stages of Change — Facilitator’s Version
The Cycle of Change
Prochaska & DiClemente
+ Precontemplation: A logical starting
point for the model, where there is
no intention of changing behavior;
the person may be unaware that a
problem exists
+ Contemplation: The person becomes
aware that there is a problem, but has
made no commitment to change
+ Preparation: The person is intent on
taking action to correct the problem;
usually requires buy-in from the client
(.¢. the client is convinced that the
change is good) and increased self-
efficacy (Le. the client believes s/he
can make change)
+ Action: The person is in active
modification of behavior
+ Maintenance: Sustained change
occurs and new behavior(s) replaces
old ones. Per this model, this stage is
also transitional
- Relapse: The person falls back into
old patterns of behavior
- Upward Spiral: Each time a person
goes through the cycle, they learn
from each relapse and (hopefully) grow
stronger so that relapse is shorter or
less devastating.
