In the theoretical part of this paper author considers the difficulties to define phenomenon of patient's readiness to change and proposes dimensions of transtheoretical model of change, that is, stages of change and processes as conceptual frames for exceeding those difficulties. Through the research author investigates the possibility to identify typical profiles of patient's readiness from the data about measured levels of particular stages of change. The results infer that several typical profiles of readiness can be identified and that it is possible that these profiles could be connected with tendency of patients to prefer passive or action-restructure processes of change.

The Transtheoretical Model of Change (TMC) is investigated as a tool for explaining and diagnosing suicidal behavior. Investigators found in a sample of 42 hospitalized suicide ideators and attempters, that most patients had progressed through the stages of change as predicted by the TMC, and that ten change processes (psychological states or experiences) defined by the TMC, were used systematically in association with specific stages of change. Women were more likely to report using the change processes than men. Investigators conclude that the TMC holds promise as a tool for understanding suicidal behavior and for designing appropriate interventions.

Addiction affects us all. It has wide-reaching consequences for the individual, the family, and society as a whole. This article attempts to assist providers and addicts in understanding the road to recovery. Transformation from addiction to recovery is best explained by recovering addicts themselves. In this qualitative study, nine participants describe their experiences with long-term recovery. The transtheoretical model of change (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983) was combined with Mezirow’s (1997) transformative learning theory to structure a framework that highlights the transition of these individuals as they moved from addiction to recovery. This new combination model can be used to anticipate behavior, support, and encourage patients in the change from active addiction to a healthier lifestyle without drugs and alcohol.
