Motivational Interviewing

The what, why and how of Motivational Interviewing as it applies to the intake, individual, and group process in PHP and IOP.  Motivational Interviewing is attaining a new focus and respect due to its successful impact on the engagement and treatment of persons in an acute PHP or IOP setting.  It provides evidence-based successful interventions for common therapeutic challenges faced by therapists.  The workshop will address collaborative conversation, resolving ambivalence, and the language of change.  Key principles including the expression of empathy, the development of discrepancy, rolling with resistance, and supporting self efficacy will be presented.  Effective strategies for the assessment, treatment, and discharge process will be considered.  The principles of MI provide each program with valuable tools to enhance the overall clinical process and provides realistic solutions to many common impasses.

The workshop will provide basic definitions with real-life examples related to

common themes in group and the intake process.
