Listen "Motivational Interviewing"
Episode Synopsis
We detail out motivational interviewing (MI), a technique for boosting motivation to change behaviour. Several sources explore MI's core principles, including collaborative partnerships, empathy, and respecting client autonomy. Specific MI skills are examined, such as reflective listening, open-ended questioning, and responding to ambivalence and resistance. Practical applications are illustrated through case studies and exercises, demonstrating how MI is used across various settings and populations, including substance abuse treatment, stress management, and healthcare. Finally, the texts also discuss training and supervision in MI, highlighting their importance for skill development and maintenance.
