Discuss the following in 300 wprds:
Read the video clip with the book author Judy Lewis and John Norcross and their discussion about the stages of change (Transtheoretical Model) and how the addiction field uses this model more and more in addiction treatment. What are your thoughts about meeting someone where they are at as opposed to forcing someone into treatment regardless of where they are at in their stage of change?
Wouldn't we all prefer our clients to be in the Action stage of change but in reality most clients come into treatment in the contemplation stage?
Let me know about your thoughts on this model and stage matching?
