Astonishing Non-compliance - Understanding Readiness for Change in the Health Challenged Client.
Dr. Michael Arloski

We've all been baffled by the person who, upon experiencing a heart attack, a new diagnosis of diabetes, etc., does little or nothing to improve their lifestyle, or even to comply medically on an even basic level. Why on earth do they not change their health behavior when doing so is absolutely vital?

Working with clients around medical compliance and adherence to the "lifestyle prescription" is the place where Prochaska's "Readiness for Change", Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's "Stages of Grief ", and Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs" all intersect. Learn how to draw upon these foundational theories to use a coach approach to move the person through this dangerously stuck time in their life into the actions that will improve the course of their health challenge for the better.
