Synopsis

Excerpt from Behavior Change in Transitional Roles

Mbst methods for changing human behavior are primarily concerned with the alteration of psychological processes within the individual. They cus tomarily give little attention to the social environment in which the attempts to change behavior occur. Yet human behavior is constantly immersed in a social context. Our actions are predicted and controled by our associates and we likewise demand that others fulfill our expectations. It is, in fact, through these stable and mutual patterns of expectation that we are able to function in highly developed and Specialized society. Individual personality change creates a problem for these mutual expect ation and interaction patterns. If changes in behavior are to be maintained, the social environment must be altered to integrate the new identity and re establish that equilibrium which allows others to predict our actions and empathize with our feelings. The social environment influences and is in fluenced by any change in behavior from the alternation of insignificant habits to the total reorganization of personality. A typist who finally masters the typewriter makes it inappropriate for her boss to vent his frus trations by ordering much-erased letters to be redone. A former drug addict, if his abstinence is to be maintained, must develop a new circle of associates who will lead him to the non-addict world of a steady job and to life with the squares he formerly despised.

The author argues that lasting change necessitates not only internal psychological shifts but also a corresponding evolution of one's social context.

The author emphasizes the significance of factors like commitment, involvement, and personal responsibility in navigating these transitions successfully. The book sheds light on the complex dynamics of interpersonal relationships within transitional roles, highlighting the interplay between status and solidarity. The author explores how interactions with authority figures and peers shape the learning process and the integration of new behaviors. By illuminating the social dimensions of behavior change, this book offers valuable insights for educators, therapists, and anyone seeking to understand the multifaceted nature of personal growth and transformation.
