327 adult outpatients (aged 18–62 yrs) completed the Stages of Change (SOC) Scales (E. A. McConnaughy et al; see record 1984-11195-001), the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, and a symptom checklist battery during intake. Results confirm the McConnaughy et al findings that the SOC Scales provide a reliable method of measuring SOC in psychotherapy. Four distinct stages (precontemplation, contemplation, action, and maintenance) and 8 stage profiles emerged. Despite differences between degree of psychopathology in the 2 studies' populations, the SOC emerged as a reliable phenomenon for clients entering therapy.
