MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING – EVIDENCE AND PRACTICE
James Sandham
23rd June 2010
Motivational Interviewing (MI) has a global reputation as the language for helping people of widely differing ethnic backgrounds to change entrenched, destructive behaviours, be they related to substance misuse or broader behavioural problems. There is now robust research evidence that an MI approach improves compliance in a range of therapeutic settings. There is also evidence that MI allows staff to achieve their goals with less conflict. The workshop will first examine the origins of MI and its place in the CBT stable, its relevance in a wide range of settings and the research evidence for effectiveness. Using a combination of methods, both didactic and participative, we will then identify 5 key principles and rehearse 6 key techniques. The workshop will conclude with a discussion of the relevance MI to participants own workplace.
