Description
This workshop argues that motivational enhancement therapy or the mnemonic devices associated with Motivational Interviewing (things like OARS and FRAMES that help organize M.I.’s technique) may be necessary but not necessarily sufficient to ensure engaging an interviewee in change talk. Infusing one’s clinical work with not only the practices and principles of motivational enhancement counseling, but, most importantly, its spirit is a quintessential component of engaging individuals in conversation about changing their substance using behaviors. This webinar considers how the underlying spirit of motivational enhancement counseling can engage interviewees in the exploration of their lives, initiate a shift in perspective, and foster a belief in what the presenter calls “possibility thinking.”
