**Stages of Change* ( *Other** *perspectives)* i

thank you professor. i use prochaska's steps of change. the big challenge is to keep the patient motivated in the process of changing behavior. i would like to know more about the other areas you mentioned: dissociation from the addictive environment, paraphernalia and repair of interpersonal relationships. example. i have an 18 year old patient who has been using cannabis for 3-4 years. the first experience was in the 4th grade of high school. on biographical examination: it is a blended family of 3 children of which the patient is the last born of the mother and the only son of the father. social success of the two eldest children. communication difficulty between the child and the parents. accusation and mutual reproach between the parents about the child's drug use. in clinic: 1st visit: mother and child. child was under the influence of her substance. 2nd visit: child and father. the patient was more sober, calm and proactive during the interview. very irritated by the presence of his father. the interview was done in two steps, one after the other. 3rd visit: the father alone. presents the drug test in the urine: positive for cannabis. reports that the child refuses to respect his appointment, runs away, steals money, reduces pocket money. In this case teacher, how to keep the child in treatment?
