    About this ebook

    Motivational Interviewing is now established as an evidence-based practice in the treatment of individuals with substance use disorders. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is grounded in a respectful stance with a focus on building rapport in the initial stages of the counseling relationship. MI focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence and centers on motivational processes within the individual that facilitate change.

    So the purpose of this book is NOT to give you an in-depth examination of MI. There are very good books and trainings that will do that for you. This book is design to give you that 30,000 feet high view of what MI is.

      I work as a Peer in my city and utilize MI in my work with the individuals I serve. It is so ubiquitous through all of my appts with clients and MI rather than being a technique that I consciously use, it is more embedded in the culture of and general communication style of the work day. This paper really is a great resource. I kind of think of it as it the Cliff Notes to the bulky MI books that are out there. Well done!!

    Introduction

    What is Motivational Interviewing?

    Motivational Interviewing (MI) is grounded in a respectful stance with a focus on building rapport in the initial stages of the counseling relationship. MI focuses on exploring and resolving ambivalence and centers on motivational processes within the individual that facilitate change. The method supports change in a manner congruent with the person's own values and concerns. Motivational Interviewing (MI) strategies can be used to address discrepancies between clients’ words and actions in a manner that is non-confrontational. Through clinical experience and empirical research, the fundamental principles and methodologies of MI have been applied and tested in various settings and research findings have demonstrated its efficacy. MI is now established as an evidence-based practice in the treatment of individuals with substance use disorders.

    In other words, MI is a two-way conversation to support a person’s own motivation for and commitment to change.
