Motivational Interviewing Course Information
.......................................................................................................................................................................
A 3-day course for 6-16 people.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
Background and rationale of the Motivational Interviewing course:
Prochaska, Norcross and DiClemente describe the Stages of change through which people progress if they are to change their behaviour or emotional responses. Miller and Rollnick describe Motivational Interviewing techniques which lend themselves superbly to the task of helping clients through those stages.
This course aims to acquaint participants with both the Stages of Change and Motivational Interviewing techniques. And, moreover, to show how the Motivational Interviewing techniques apply to moving through the stages of change.
.......................................................................................................................................................................
In 3 days you will cover a great deal about Motivational Interviewing:
• Definition and description of Motivational Interviewing and The Stages of Change. Why they mesh so well together that many people get them confused.
• The sequence in Motivational Interviewing: encouraging the person to talk, generating
self-motivational statements, dealing with resistance, developing readiness to change
and negotiating a plan, developing determination and action.
• The 5 principles: expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, avoiding arguing, rolling with resistance and supporting self-efficacy.
• The stages of change found by Prochaska, Norcross & DiClemente: How to determine which stage a person is at, why it is essential to know, and how to capitalise on it.
• Traps to avoid in early stages.
• Moving from stage 1 to 2. An ideal opening structure detailing with the nature and content
of early sessions. Other methods of moving from stage 1 to 2.
• Moving from stage 2 to 3: generating concern about the problem and intention to change using the 8 categories of questions. Consolidation of progress. Other methods of moving
from stage 2 to 3.
• Types of resistance: arguing, interrupting, denying and ignoring. How to respond to overcome it.
• Moving from stage 3 to 4: noticing readiness to change, developing commitment to
change, encouraging and supporting action. Giving advice in a way that maximises the chances of its
acceptance.
• Recapitulation: summarising how the client sees the problem and their ambivalence, reviewing the evidence about risks and problems, summarising the client's wish to
change, giving your own assessment of the situation.
• Triggering effective action: the moment of truth.
• The maintenance phase. Why we should wish to see people even after we have apparently
achieved what we set out to. Lapse and relapse.
• Summary; self-test quiz; how to apply the course to the working situation.
