Spaulding stated that depending on which stage of change a person is in will determine that person’s treatment plan and the appropriate interventions to use. He went on to discuss the five stages of change, which are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Dr. Spaulding informed me that a person in the precontemplation stage has no intentions to change, therefore encouraging self-awareness and personal risks are appropriate interventions for this stage. Someone in the contemplation stage is a person who intends to take action, so Dr. Spaulding stated you want to this person to do an analysis of the pros and cons of changing his behavior as well as identify and encourage new goals. A person in the preparation stage is someone who intends to take action and who has taken action already. Dr. Spaulding reported that the appropriate intervention for this stage is to encourage the first small steps and identify social support. Someone in the action stage has changed overt behavior for less than six months; appropriate interventions in this stage of change involves reinforcing benefits and dealing with feelings of loss. Dr. Spaulding stated that the maintenance stage refers to someone who has changed overt behavior for more than six months and that someone in the maintenance stage should have a plan for follow-up support and reinforce internal…

Timing when using assessment tools is important as is the helper’s self-awareness as they must be able to know how their client affects them and vice versa. More so, the stages-of-change transtheoretical model provides a way to conceptualize different levels of readiness for change. By identifying and understanding a client's position in the stages of change process, the therapist can tailor the intervention and assessment; usually with skills they already possess to meet the client at that stage (Miller, 2015). Thus, the focus on the counseling process is not to convince the patient to change behavior but to help the patient move along the stages of change. As such, assessment should be ongoing in the…
Individuals who inject drugs are at high risk for Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection through the sharing of needles and drug-preparation equipment (CDC, 2016). A large disparity exists between those infected with hepatitis and those who are unaware of their diagnosis. “Between 2.7 and 3.9 million Americans are infected with HCV, with 75 percent of those individuals unaware of their diagnosis’’ (Zucker, Choi, & Gallagher, 2012). Because of their high risk for infection with hepatitis, screening and vaccination is recommended for susceptible injection drug users.…
(2013).. As the interventions are made by the client, the social worker has to listen to Billy’s concerns and display empathy in his situation. The relationship with his daughter is the reason that he should change because she has only one parent after her mother’s death. The process of changing involves making decisions and being financial stable. The second intervention would be reinforce the client’s statement about wanting to make a big change. This can be introduced by maintaining the client’s expression to change by his values and goals.

Although change has become commonplace in modern organizations, the reported failure rates of change implementation range from 40% to as high as 70% (McKay et al., 2013). Considering our global economy and technological innovation, this rate is alarmingly high. It is no surprise that these statistics have prompted researchers to investigate the causes underlying change failure in modern organizational settings (McKay et al., 2013). Employee resistance has been identified as a primary source of change implementation failure across a range of organizations and industries worldwide (McKay et al., 2013). Change is a situation that interrupts normal patterns of organization and calls for participants to enact new patterns, involving interplay of deliberate and emergent processes that can be highly ambiguous for everyone involved (Ford et al., 2008). Employees resist change for a variety of more or less logical reasons (Baack, 2012). These reasons will be explored to understand the external and internal factors of change within organizations. In addition, a scenario will be presented to analyze how change was introduced, perceived, and implemented at a real life organization.…
The Stages of Change was presented by researchers James Prochaska and Carlo Diclemente. This theory is used to help people understand the process of change. It shows that change is difficult and it often requires a steady progression of small steps toward a larger goal. In order for the person to succeed in their process of change they need to understand the three most important fundamentals in changing a behavior. There are six stages to the Stages of Change; they are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and relapsing.…

200). These theoretical foundations guide and assist the casework from the beginning assessment to the ending case closure. In the solution-focused family therapy, the goal is to create a partnership with the family (Antle, Barbee, Christensen, & Martin, 2008, p. 200). The solution-focused family therapy engages with the family to identify the strengths to the problem. While in the family cycle theory, the goal is focusing on the family everyday routine for caring for the child. The family cycle theory assists in defining the problem as it is, a problem. Lastly, in the relapse prevention, the goal is to create solutions that target the prevention skills needed to reduce the risks and dangers of the everyday caring routines (Antle, Barbee, Christensen, & Martin, 2008, p. 201). The relapse prevention works with the family, helping the clients identify their negative behaviors and then the skills to prevent the behavior in the…

Social change refers to any significant alteration over time of behavior patterns, cultural values, and norms. By “significant” alteration, sociologists mean change that will bring profound social consequences. Social change starts with what the people are willing to do and how far they are willing to go in order to find the difference they want in their communities. Change can and will be attained by those who are persistent and focus on what they plan on developing.…
