Abstract
This study explored the issue of premature termination by using the client readiness variables reflected in the stages of change and processes of change proposed in J. O. Prochaska and C. C. DiClemente's (1982) transtheoretical model. This study used these variables in an attempt to distinguish between premature and nonpremature terminators in a college counseling center. Results indicated that the two termination groups were distinguishable on stages and processes of change, though some results were not predicted by the transtheoretical theory or model. Recommendations are made for future research to identify and predict clients at risk for premature termination and to determine how to avert such termination
