Abstract
This article describes a model called “the contract for change,” the goal of which is the restructuring of the client's ego states using redecision. This model facilitates the establishment of an alliance with the client's Child ego state and awareness of the script suffering underlying the client's presenting complaint. The process takes into account repairing the most archaic of the client's inhibited needs (often the need for security first, then trust). The contract for change includes four interdependent factors: objective of change, known script process, ways to help myself, and what I change. The model is illustrated with a case study.
