Abbreviation
SOCRATES
Description
The SOCRATES (Miller and Tonigan 1996) is a 20-item self-report measure of clients’ readiness to change their substance use behaviors. Isenhardt (Isenhart 1994) used a modified version of the SOCRATES that includes references to drug use with a broader range of substance abusers. The current version has three subscales: Taking steps, Recognition of a problem, and Ambivalence. The instrument is intended to assess which of these stages the individual is in at the time of the assessment.
