Abstract
Jim Prochaska, in his opening chapter to this book, outlines a route “towards a comprehensive model of change in the addictive behaviors” On the way he rightly distinguishes between “change within therapy” and “individual self-change,” points out that improvement in therapy and improvement outside of therapy appear to involve the same stages and processes, and concludes that by taking seriously the successful efforts that individuals make without therapy a “transtheoretical model of change” can be enhanced.
