Presents a behavioral sequence of tasks, identified with particular developmental stages, i.e., “Need recognition… Discomfort awareness… Thinking about… Identification of options… Decision to take action… Experiencing relief.” The checklist may be used to describe and to assess the personal adequacy of clients, and may be employed either as a diagnostic tool or as an indicator of the involvement of specific developmental level tasks in particular issues identified by a client. The authors emphasize the positive aspects of behavior and behavioral change, and deal with developmental issues only to the extent necessary to effect positive behavioral changes.
