Motivational Interviewing
1983- Miller; 1991-Miller & Rollnick
Rooted in behavioural psychology
Builds on the Transtheoretical / Stages of Change Model
Developed in addictions counselling
Motivational interviewing is an interpersonal style, rather than a technique or set of techniques
that are applied to or "used on" people.
The Spirit Of Motivational Interviewing
Motivation to change is elicited from the client, and not imposed on the client.
It is the client's task, not the counselor's, to articulate and resolve his or her
ambivalence.
Direct persuasion is not an effective method for resolving ambivalence.
The counseling style is generally a quiet and eliciting one.
Goal-oriented, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by
helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence
The counsellor is directive in helping the client to examine and resolve ambivalence.
Lack of determination is the principal obstacle to be overcome in triggering
change
Designed to elicit, clarify, and resolve ambivalence
Readiness to change is not a client trait, but a fluctuating product of interpersonal
interaction.
The therapeutic relationship is more like a partnership or companionship than
expert/recipient roles
Four General Principles Behind
Motivational Interviewing
Express Empathy
Support Self-Efficacy: counselors focus their efforts on helping the clients stay motivated, and
supporting clients‘ sense of self-efficacy is a great way to do that
