New Social Work Podcast: Stages of Change

A new Social Work Podcast is here.

Today’s podcast is on Prochaska and DiClemente’s (1983) Stages of Change Model. This model describes five stages that people go through on their way to change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. The model assumes that although the amount of time an individual spends in a specific stage varies, everyone has to accomplish the same stage-specific tasks in order to move through the change process.

Enjoy.
