There are three major parts to this theory.
Part 1: Focuses on approaching transition
Part 2: Focuses on coping resources
Part 3: Focuses on strategies that can help take charge of the transition
There are three types of approaching transition: 1) anticipated, which is expected and part of the life cycle (college graduation), 2) unanticipated, which is not expected and caused by things that aren't predictable (layoff), 3) nonevent, which was anticipated and planned but did not actually occur
During the transition process, there are several phases: preoccupation with the transition, disbelief, feeling of betrayal, being confused, being angry, and then resolution.
The resolution is different for most every client and depends on their characteristics and which type of transition has taken place.
There are four factors that impact how a client deals with the transition:
1) The situation: trigger, timing, source, role change, duration, previous transitions, other stress
2) The self: client's personal and psychological state
3) Support: family, personal relationships, friends
4) Strategies: seeking information, action, prohibiting action
