The webinar will provide a clear presentation of Motivational Interviewing that is readily transferable to everyday clinical practice. Motivational Interviewing is a clinical style for engaging patients in treatment, enhancing motivation to reduce substance use, and supporting adherence to recommended behavioral or pharmacological treatments.
The session will present the origins of Motivational Interviewing; describe its fundamental concepts, such as spirit, processes, and core skills; demonstrate the use of Motivational Interviewing; offer practical ways to integrate MI with other psychosocial and pharmacological approaches; and discuss incorporating Motivational Interviewing as communication style in consultative, administrative, supervisory and educational settings. Participants will gain a practical foundation of Motivational Interviewing that can be readily applied and further enhanced with practice.
