You are an occupational therapist working in an inpatient eating
disorder unit for adolescents. For 15 year old Bethany, anorexia
nervosa has almost taken over her life. She has abandoned
socialising with friends as she does not want to be placed in an
uncomfortable situation with food while her friends are around.
School has become almost impossible owing to impaired concentration
and frequent hospital admissions. You have been working with
Bethany for some time and she mentions to you that “I really don’t
think I can increase the number of calories I’m eating, but maybe
sometime down the track I will be able to”. When considering the
subject material, what stage of the Transtheoretical Model is
Bethany currently in?
Select one:
a. Pre-contemplation
b. Contemplation
c. Action
d. Preparation
