In search of how people change: Applications to addictive behaviors.
TLDR
In this article, the authors summarized research on self-initiated and professionally facilitated change of addictive behaviors using the key transtheoretical constructs of stages and processes of change.Abstract:
How people intentionally change addictive behaviors with and without treatment is not well understood by behavioral scientists. This article summarizes research on self-initiated and professionally facilitated change of addictive behaviors using the key transtheoretical constructs of stages and processes of change. Modification of addictive behaviors involves progression through five stages—precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance—and individuals typically recycle through these stages several times before termination of the addiction. Multiple studies provide strong support for these stages as well as for a finite and common set of change processes used to progress through the stages. Research to date supports a transtheoretical model of change that systematically integrates the stages with processes of change from diverse theories of psychotherapy.read more

The transtheoretical stages of change as a predictor of premature termination, attendance and alliance in psychotherapy
Jo Derisley,Shirley Reynolds +1 more
TL;DR: The Transtheoretical Model, which was developed in the context of interventions for behavioural change, may not be directly generalizable to outpatient psychotherapy populations, however, Contemplation did predict premature termination and engagement, implying that with adaptation the model may be a useful adjunct to psychotherapy assessment.

TL;DR: Coach-supported self-management of cardiovascular risk factors using an interactive internet intervention is feasible in an older population, and leads to a modest improvement of cardiovascularrisk profile, which could potentially reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: Prochaska et al. as mentioned in this paper studied how individuals change on their own compared with change in formalized treatments, and identified five basic processes of change, which can be applied at either the level of the individual's experience or environment.

TL;DR: This study tested the transtheoretical model of change that posits a series of stages through which smokers move as they successfully change the smoking habit, and results strongly support the stages of change model.
