CHANGING BEHAVIORChanging Patterns of Behavior 101
EXERCISE 6.1
Here is the chance to record ideas from your own stories of change and the professional knowl-
edge that you have about changing patterns of behavior. As you do so, it may be helpful to do
the following:
■ Think about and write down the desired therapeutic outcome of change as your first
task.
■ Once this task is completed, assess the type of resources or abilities the child will need
to achieve that change.
■ If the child has those abilities, ask yourself how can they be used to reach the desired
change.
■ If not, ask yourself how the metaphors might help develop and employ appropriate
resources.
