A transtheoretical approach to case conceptualization and treatment planning as a method of identifying the appropriate stage for creating change in therapy.

This article will examine a therapeutic methodology that may have some promise for use with an Asian clinical population. The model presented is a transtheoretical model that uses a particular atheoretical method of case conceptualizing. Client change is the ultimate goal of therapeutic intervention, so clients' readiness to change is incorporated into the treatment planning. Finally, interventions are examined by way of examples.
