Prochaska & DiClemente’s Six Stages of Change
• How and why did we develop our
current model of working?
Motivational Work
• Listen
• Step back
• Learn
• Be curious
• Invest less
Is it any good?
• Benefits Staff, team and Clients
Non-Negotiable
1. Clearly defined from the outset – no surprises
2. Agreed by staff & clients if possible
3. Not arbitrary, but with good justification
4. Consistently applied by all staff
Diagnostic Criteria - Anorexia
nervosa
A. Restriction of energy intake relative to requirements leading to a
significant low body weight in the context of age, sex,
developmental trajectory and physical health. Significantly low
weight is defined as a weight that is less than minimally normal, or
for children and adolescents, less than minimally expected.
B. intense fear of gaining weight, or becoming fat, even though
underweight
C. disturbance in the way in which body weight or shape is
experienced with undue influence of body weight on selfevaluation, or denial of seriousness of current low body weight
Restricting type - no bingeing or purging during last 3 months
Binge - eating / purging type - regular bingeing or purging during last
3 months
Bulimia Nervosa
A. Recurrent episodes of binge eating
1. Eating in a discrete period of time an amount of food that is definitely
larger than most people would eat in similar time and under similar
circumstances
2. Sense of lack of control over eating
B. Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behaviour to prevent weight gain
- vomiting, laxatives, diuretics, enemas, fasting, exercise, other
medications
C. Bingeing and compensatory behaviour more than twice per week for
three months
D. Self-evaluation unduly influenced by body shape and weight
E. Disturbance not occurring exclusively during episodes of anorexia
nervosa
