July 2008 The Fennell Four-Phase Model FFPM is a framework for explaining how people who are experiencing chronic illness or trauma can adapt to the changes in their lives. It outlines four phases that people commonly pass through as they learn to incorporate their altered physical abilities or psychological outlook into their personality and lifestyle. It was developed by Patricia Fennell, MSW, LCSW-R, in 1992; first published in 1993 in The CFIDS Chronicle1; subjected to validation research several times in the 1990s and 2000s2 3 4 5 6; and fully presented in Fennell's 2003 book, Managing Chronic Illness: The Four Phase Approach.7 Contents 1 The Fennell Four Phases 2 The Fennell Four-Phase Treatment FFPTtm 3 The Fennell Phase Inventory FPItm 4 Research and Application of FFPM and FFPTtm 5 Publications 6 References 7 For Further Reading The Fennell Four Phases The Fennell Four Phases are: Crisis, Stabilization, Resolution, and Integration. Within each phase, FFPM addresses three domains: the physical/behavioral, the psychological, and the social/interactive. In Phase 1 Crisis, the individual moves from onset of the condition to an emergency period when he or she knows that something is seriously wrong. Onset may be specifically detectable, such as a serious and disabling automobile accident, or may happen gradually, as in the case of multiple sclerosis, where a period of symptoms precedes diagnosis. The task of the individual, caregivers, and clinicians during this phase is to cope with and contain urgency and trauma. In Phase 2 Stabilization, the individual discovers that he or she fails, sometimes repeatedly, to return to normal, regardless of interventions or behavior. The task in this phase is to initiate stabilization and life restructuring. In Phase 3 Resolution, the individual recognizes deeply that his or her old life will never return. Early in this phase, many experience significant grief and loss. The task of this phase is to begin establishing an authentic new self and start developing a supportive, meaningful philosophy. In Phase 4 Integration, the individual defines a new self in which illness may be an important factor, but it is not the only or even the primary one in his or her life. Integration of the illness into a meaningful life is the goal the individual seeks. The experience of chronic illness or trauma does not remain the same over time. The physical, emotional, and social needs of an individual in the early stages of the chronic experience can be considerably different from the needs of an individual who has been ill for several years. Additionally, unlike other phase- or stage-based models, such as the Kübler-Ross theory of death and dying, FFPM does not assume that individuals move through the FFPM phases in a linear fashion. Rather, physical or emotional setbacks can precipitate a temporary move back to a previous phase. The Fennell Four-Phase Treatment FFPTtm The Fennell Four-Phase Treatment FFPTtm model was developed by Patricia Fennell based on her clinical work using the FFPM with patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other chronic conditions. FFPT is a flexible clinical approach designed to enhance intervention approaches by helping the health care team determine what may be expected over time and the best ways to intervene to improve the patient's quality of life at any given point. Patients may respond differently to various treatment modalities depending upon which phase of Illness they are in. Research has suggested that matching best medical practice to phase of illness can help both physicians and allied health professionals treat patients more effectively, increase compliancy, and save time and resources.8 9 10 11 12 By intervening with treatments suited to the patient's particular phase -- a time when they are more likely to be compliant or capable of carrying out the intervention -- FFPT's goal is to aid health care providers in helping patients break out of a pattern of repeated crises. The goal of this approach is not pursuing the ever-elusive cure, but integrating the illness into the patient's life. For patients and their families, FFPTtm helps them to organize a narrative of their experience, which in turn advances patient education and self-management and family support. The Fennell Phase Inventory FPItm The Fennell Phase Inventory is an assessment tool that can be used by practitioners to identify which phase an individual is currently experiencing. It has also been used as an outcome measure in research and clinical settings to determine the effectiveness of an intervention.13 14 15 Research and Application of FFPM and FFPTtm Research on FFPM and FFPT has most frequently been applied in the setting of chronic medical conditions, notably chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, and multiple sclerosis in the United States, Belgium, and Australia. 16 17 18 19 20 Clinically, however, it has been used in a variety of trauma-inducing situations. These situations include chronic medical conditions, like cancer,21 autism, lupus, depression, and so forth. They also include crime-associated situations such as rape, domestic violence, and murder; terrorism, including first-responders in the September 11th attacks; and natural disasters, such as hurricane survivors. In the case of crime-related trauma, FFPT is applicable to all involved parties, including victims, perpetrators, family and close friends of victims and perpetrators, law enforcement, and treatment providers.22 23 Publications There have been dozens of publications describing FFPM and FFPT in research and clinical settings.
