Description
Description:
Helping people to change is the easy part, relatively speaking; the really tough job is to make the changes last. Many people with chronic, intractable problems - those with addictions, personality disturbances, behavioral problems, unhealthy lifestyles - manage to make some progress and meet initial goals. Bet alas, the changes are not maintained. This is not only discouraging for clients but frustrating for clinicians.
Educational Objectives:
- To list the causes and factors associated with temporary relapses and changes that do not endure over time.
- To describe three effective strategies for promoting lasting change in self and others.
