Precontemplation
Prochaska and DiClemente’s research classified people as precontemplative if they had no serious intention to change the problem behavior. People in this stage are often unaware of the problems presented by their behavior--they are not having difficulty in finding solutions, but instead in seeing that a problem exists in the first place. People in the precontemplation stage often seek social services or HIV counseling because of external pressures, for example, from family members, the courts, and employers.
