Schlossberg's Adult Career Developmental Transition Model:
Provides a systematic framework for mental health professionals/social workers/others as they listen to many stories. The transitions and individuals differ, but the structure for understanding transition remains the same.

The transition model has three major parts.

  1. Approaching the transition; transition identification and process.
  2. Identifying coping resources.
  3. Emphasizing strategies that can be used to take charge of the transition.

Approaching Transition:
  • Anticipated transition: caused by unexpected events that occur as part of one's life cycle.
  • Unanticipated transition: caused by life events that are not predictable. (Not planned for)
  • Nonevent transition: caused by events that were anticipated and planned but did not happen.
Transition Process: Wile in transitions, clients pass through a series of identifiable phases.
  • Disbelief, sense of betrayal, confusion, anger, and resolution.
Factors that influence transitions.
  • The situation
  • The self
  • Support
