Outline the principles of Motivation Interviewing.

Outline the principles of Motivation Interviewing.

Answers

Martin
Some people need this, once unstuck, no longer immobilized by conflicting motivations, they have the skill and resources they need in order to make a lasting change

- Important to people who are reluctant to change and endure ambivalent in changing

- For others, motivational interviewing is a prelude to treatment

- It creates openness to change which paves way for further therapeutic work

- Responsibility for change relies on the individual

- This does not denote that therapists are powerless or helpless, they exert a lot of influence

- The strategies are more persuasive than coercive, more supportive than argumentative ( the therapist creates a conducive environment for change)

- The therapist is increasing client’s intrinsic motivation, so that change arises from within rather than being imposed from without

- Done properly, client presents the argument for change, rather than therapist.

- Motivation interviewing employs a variety of strategies especially derived from person centered therapy

- Counselor may appear relatively active

- But the motivational interviewing proceeds with a strong sense of purpose, clear strategies and skills for pursuing that purpose and a sense of timing to intervene in particular ways at particular moments.
