PSYC 2571 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Motivational Interviewing, Psychoeducation
Document Summary
Engaging - establishing a trusting respectful relationship. Focusing - clarifying goals and directions / we cannot push people we can only illicit a feeling. Evoking - eliciting motivation - working to a point where they can motivate themselves to do this on their own. Use a 10 point scale in terms of motivation. What would get you to be more con dent. What has that been like for you. What led you to call us today. What would you like to be di erent. When client stuck in evoking stage can be helpful to ask if you decide to make this change, what do you hope would be di erent in the future. Or when has x worked for you in the past. Mine for a rmations rather than simply provide them. Think of two strengths of the client. Think of two a rmations you could say about those strengths. Encourage the client too state their motivations for change themselves.
