MI Definitions Processes of MI OARS Change Talk Resistance Learning to use MI
MI: A way to talk about behavior change
Person-centered Directional method Enhances internal motivation for
change Explores and resolves ambivalence Empirically supported
Motivational Interviewing . .
. . . is a clinical method that overlaps humanistic and cognitive therapies
. . . is not behavior therapy although there is some use of reinforcement to elicit and shape client speech
. . . Has a strong focus on acceptance and commitment as interpersonal transactions
MI is an Evidence Based Practice
On the federal NREPP list Being vetted by American Psychological Association Strongest evidence in alcohol and drug abuse Good outcomes for alcohol, drugs, hypertension,
bulimia, and compliance in diabetes Support for smoking, physical activity, and adherence
with hyperlipidemia treatment AMIs (Adaptations of MI) were superior to placebo
controls and equal to active treatments. Noonan and Moyers (1997); Dunn (2003)
Broader than Behavior Change Decision – to make a choice
– Forgiveness, Leaving or staying
Attitude - to become a different person– To be more Compassionate, Assertive etc.
Resolution - Acceptance– Complicated grief
– Finding peace regarding a decision
– Tolerance for anxiety, uncertainty etc.
Three Essential Elements in any Definition of MI
1. MI is a particular kind of conversation about change (counseling, therapy, consultation, method of
communication)
2. MI is collaborative (person-centered, partnership, honors autonomy, not expert-recipient)
3. MI is evocative, seeks to call forth the person’s own motivation and commitment
DEFINITIONS OF MI
Three levels of definition (of increasing specificity)
1. A layperson’s definition
(What’s it for?)
2. A pragmatic practitioner’s definition (Why would I use it?)
3. A technical therapeutic definition
(How does it work?)
1. A layperson’s definition(What’s it for?)
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation to
strengthen a person’s own motivation for and commitment to change
2. A pragmatic practitioner’s definition (Why would I use it?)
Motivational interviewing is a person-centered counseling method for
addressing the common problem of ambivalence about change
3. A technical therapeutic definition (How does it work?)
Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method of communication with
particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen an individual’s
motivation for and movement toward a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own
arguments for change
Four Fundamental Processes in
MI
Relational Motivational Foundation Interviewing
1. Engaging
2. Focusing
3. Evoking
4. Planning
4 Fundamental Processes in MI
1. Engaging – The Relational Foundation
Person-centered style
Listen – understand dilemma and values

Is it MI Yet?
Can it be MI without . . .
Engaging ?
Focusing ?
Evoking ?
Planning ?
NoNoNoYes
So it’s MI when . .
1. The communication style and spirit involve person-centered, empathic listening (Engage)
AND
2. There is a particular identified target for change that is the topic of conversation (Focus)
AND
3. The interviewer is evoking the person’s own motivations for change (Evoke)
The 4 processes are somewhat linear ... .
Engaging necessarily comes first Focusing (identifying a change goal) is a
prerequisite for Evoking Planning is logically a later step
Engage Focus Evoke Plan
. . . . and yet also recursive
Engaging skills (and re-engaging) continue throughout MI
Focusing is not a one-time event; re-focusing is needed, and focus may change
Evoking can begin very early “Testing the water” on planning may indicate a need
for more of the above

Some Guidelines with Questions
Ask fewer questions! No more than three questions in a
row Ask MORE OPEN than closed
questions TWO REFLECTIONS for each
question
Open Ended Questions Video
Affirm a person’s struggles, achievements, values, and feelings
Emphasize a strength Notice and appreciate a positive action Should be genuine Express positive regard and caring Examples
– “It takes courage to face such difficult problems”– “This is hard work you’re doing”– “You really care a lot about your family”– “Your anger is understandable”

Bridge the gap by reflection
Reflective ListeningA critical MI skillMirrors what the individual saysIs non-threateningDeepens the conversationHelps people understand
themselves
MI Listening Method
Reflective listening encourages disclosure and exploration.
Listen carefully Generate hypothesis about content, meaning,
emotion Put your hypothesis in form of a statement Keep voice inflection neutral/down at end Listen to individual’s clarification Restate hypothesis of the clarified
content
Reflective listening stems
So you feel like.. It sounds like you…. You’re wondering if… In other words you’re
saying…. Let me see if I heard you
correctly…. What I hear you saying…
Ask for clarification- I want to understand, help me to understand what you’re saying
You’re feeling. . . It seems that you …. So you….
Reflections
First, train yourself to think reflectively What does this person really mean? How does this fit with cultural
competence? Reflective listening is a way to check in
with the patient. Can be a guess about what they really meant.
Reflections Video
“What you’ve said is important.” “I value what you say.” “Here are the salient points.” “Did I hear you correctly?” “We covered that well. Now let's
talk about ...”
Summarization
After a minimum of 3 reflections Good for moving the conversation or
transitioning to the next topic
Using Summaries

Focusing – Strategic Centering
Developing a clear direction and goal(s) Sometimes the change goal is clear, but
often it’s not Most often, from the client’s agenda;
Sometimes prescribed by the context
Agenda Setting
Eliciting the client’s agenda– “Miracle question”
Offering a menu– What are the options?
Asking permission to discuss your agenda– I’d also like to talk a bit about ? and you can decide if that
would be helpful
Finding a Focus What is the focus, the “change goal” for MI? Most often, it is from the client’s agenda Sometimes prescribed by the context What if you have your own goal(s)
that the client does not
currently share?
Evoking – The Transition to MI
A clear focus is a prerequisite Eliciting change talk
– Selective eliciting
– Selective responding
– Selective summaries
Change Talk
• Change talk is any client speech that favors movement in the direction of change
• Previously called “self-motivational statements” (Miller & Rollnick, 1991)
• Change talk is by definitionlinked to a particular behavior changegoal
DARN CATs

ABILITY to change (can, could . . )
REASONS to change (if . . then)

stop me I’m not ready to quit (A) I went back to smoking this week (T)
Change Talk Video
Evoking Change Talk!
Giving goal-oriented or target behavior- oriented direction…
Previously, we learned that change talk can flow naturally by simply using OARS
In this lesson, we will learn strategies for eliciting change-talk when it does NOT naturally occur
We will list, define, and discuss 7 strategies for eliciting change talk
Eliciting change talk
Ask Evocative Questions (Assumes a problem)- What
happened the last time you used? How did your
little sister react the last time you and your mom
fought?
Explore Decisional Balance – Weighing Costs &
benefits. *Consider short & long term consequences
(+/-)
How to Evoke Change Talk!(How MI becomes directive)
Ask for Elaboration or Examples – What else do you
think is going on with that? Tell me a little more
about your situation at school… Tell me about the
last time you got in a fight….
Looking Back – Think back to a time when things were
OK [you weren’t using]? What things did you do to
keep you on track?
More Strategies…
Looking forward – How would you like your life to look
a year form now? What will be different in a year if
you stop using?
Query Extremes - what is the worst that could happen if
you [quit behavior]? What is your worst fear? What
is the best thing that could happen if you [quit
behavior]?
More Strategies….
Use Change Rulers – On a scale of 1-10, how important
is it for you to get through treatment? What would it
take for you to go even higher on the scale?
Explore Goals & Values – What’s most important to
you? Where would YOU like to start? Which of these
3 areas would you like to work on first?
More Strategies….
Come Alongside – Explicitly side with the negative (or
status quo) side of ambivalence. This may be so
important to you that changing is out of the
questions, no matter what the cost.
More Strategies….
Change talk: I wouldn’t have a hangover. Open Question: What might be some advantages of
quitting?
Change talk: I suppose I could go with a buddy. Open Question: What might make it easier for you to
get to the program?

Planning – The Bridge to Change
Replacing prior Phase I and Phase II Negotiating a change plan &
Consolidating commitment
It’s time for the Planning Process when:
There is sufficient engagement
AND A clear shared goal
AND Sufficient client motivation for change
Often a “testing the water” strategy such as recapitulation and key question
Planning: A Continuum
Clear Plan Menu of Options Unclear
What is the client/patient role in planning?
How does the interviewer influence planning?
What are the key elements of MI-guided planning?
Ambivalence: A Central Concept Simultaneous motivations leading in
different directions – Desire to gain medication benefits and avoid side-effects
– Desire to be strong and healthy and to relax and eat enjoyable foods
– Desire to be in greater control/feel on top of things, desire to let go and escape
– Hope for change / fear of failure
Role of Ambivalence Ambivalence is a
normal component of psychological problems
Acknowledge and protect the side that doesn’t want to change
Explore pros and cons of change (decisional balance)
Specifics are unique to each person--try not to assume
What is Resistance? Behavior (a state not a “trait”) Interpersonal (It takes two to resist) A signal of dissonance Predictive of (non) change Highly responsive to practitioner style
Psychological reactance Individuals will defend their freedom when it
is threatened, especially when the threat is perceived as unfair. – Restricted behaviors may increase in attractiveness
(forbidden fruit) – Person may become aggressive or assert other freedoms
Therapeutic relationship (advising, addressing problems) may induce reactance(Brehm, 1966)

Rolling with Resistance
Don’t push back Avoid arguments Reflect Remind the person (and
yourself) about autonomy
What do you feel when the individual resist?
Sustain Talk and Resistance Sustain Talk is about the target behavior
– I really don’t want to stop smoking
– I have to have my pills to make it through the day Resistance is about your relationship
– You can’t make me quit
– You don’t understand how hard it is for me Both are highly responsive to practitioner’s style
Traps to Avoid
Question/Answer
Premature Focus
Taking SidesExpert Role Blaming
Another Trap: The Righting Reflex
Born of concern and caring There’s a problem? Let’s fix it! Fails to consider ambivalence in change
process May engender resistance
Possible contraindications for MI
Clients who are already ready for change or appear to be at the action stage
Clients who are low in anger or resistance Clients making a decision we should not be
involved with!
When, in MI, do you give information and advice?
Three kinds of permission:
The person asks for advice
You ask permission to give advice:
“Can I make a suggestion?” “Would you be interested in some resources?” “Would you like to know what has worked for some other
people?”)
You qualify your advice to emphasize autonomy:“A lot of people find that _____works well, but I don’t
know if that’s something that interests you.”
Giving information & Advice
• Get Permission (sometimes best to ask permission to
listen & learn more before giving advice!)
• Qualify, honoring autonomy
• For suggestions, offer several instead of just one
The Process for giving advice…
Building MI Skills
Ongoing training in MI Supervision/Coaching and feedback Reading MI Workbook Watching training videos (YouTube) Watching or listening to your own sessions Coding sessions Peer support
Getting Stuck while learning MI
Being open to change & letting go of some old habits
Proficiency in reflective listening Recognizing change talk & evoking change talk Summarizing Transitions to other therapeutic methods
The FRAMES Model
F – providing feedback R – emphasizing that the individual is
responsible A – giving clear advice M – providing a menu of alternative options E – using empathetic conversational style
(reflective listening) S – supporting self-efficacy
Using FRAMES in MOSBIRT F – providing feedback on the patient’s screening
results R – emphasizing that the individual is responsible for
their own behavior A – giving clear advice that the best way to reduce the
risk is to cut down or stop engaging in the risky behavior (drinking, using drugs, etc.)
M – providing a menu of alternative change options E – using empathetic conversational style (reflective
listening) S – supporting self-efficacy of the individual
Brief Education
Provided when ASSIST Score for Alcohol = 11 to 19 and/or ASSIST Score for Drugs = 4 to 19
Consists of 1 Session Follows (usually immediately) completion
of the Screening forms Average time about 30 minutes
Brief Education in 3 Steps
Step 1: Orientation & Print Personal Feedback Form
Step 2: Build Rapport, Review Personal Feedback Form, Provide Feedback on Screening Results, Give Clear Advise, and Provide a menu of alternatives
Step 3: Summarize Session, and emphasize personal responsibility.
Brief Education Handout
Personal Feedback Form
Brief Education Step 1: Orientation & Print Personal Feedback Form
Deliver orientation: welcome and rational– Brief Assessment (Pre-Screening)– HIPPA Consent Form– ASSIST & GPRA Interviews– Follow-up Survey Contact Form (when
appropriate) Print Personal Feedback Form (PFR)
– Review the patient’s ASSIST Score to determine level of intervention
Brief Education Step 2: Build Rapport, Review Form, Provide Feedback, Advise,
and Menu of Alternatives Rapport building – focus on strengths (use Empathy
& Support self-efficacy) Review Personal Feedback Form Provide Feedback on the screening results – focus on
concerns (remind Responsibility of patient use Empathy & Support self-efficacy)
Give clear Advice (with permission) that the best way to reduce the risk is to cut down or stop drinking
Provide a Menu of alternatives for change
Brief Education Step 3: Summarize Session, Emphasize Responsibility, and
Feedback from Patient
Summarize session Emphasize that the individual is
Responsible for their own behavior
