What is Motivational Interviewing (M.I.)?
M.I. is a conversation about change. It is a way to help someone, who is caught between different options, to move forward through reflective listening and empathy. Clinically, M.I. is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person's own reasons for change (Miller & Rollnick, 2013).
What does intermediate training involve?
There are two particular areas of focus: ‘Complex Reflections’ and ‘Change Talk’. A person who talks about the benefits of change is more likely to make that change, whereas a person who argues and defends the status quo is more likely to continue his or her problematic behaviour (Miller & Rollnick, 2013). Effective use of ‘Complex Reflections’, in addition to a certain provider style, predicts decisions to change even during brief conversations. Clients may arrive with a certain range of readiness, but what the practitioner says beyond that makes a difference in how the person speaks, thinks, and ultimately chooses to act (Stinson & Clark, 2017). The goal of the two-day intermediate training is to build this ability and capacity in participants. The training is aimed at individuals who have completed an introductory course in M.I.
