Ten Things that Motivational Interviewing Is Not

Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, 2009

Background: In the 26 years since it was first introduced in this journal, motivational interviewing (MI) has become confused with various other ideas and approaches, owing in part to its rapid international diffusion. Methods: Based on confusions that have arisen in publications and presentations regarding MI, the authors compiled a list of 10 concepts and procedures with which MI should not be addled. Results: This article discusses 10 things that MI is not: (1) the transtheoretical model of change; (2) a way of tricking people into doing what you want them to do; (3) a technique; (4) decisional balance; (5) assessment feedback; (6) cognitive-behavior therapy; (7) client-centered therapy; (8) easy to learn; (9) practice as usual; and (10) a panacea. Conclusion: Clarity about what does (and does not) constitute MI promotes quality assurance in scientific research, clinical practice, and training.

Motivational Interviewing and Self–Determination Theory

... Kochan, Dixon, Heather, & Wodak, 1994), smoking cessation (eg, Rollnick, Butler, & Stott, 1997; Butler et al., 1999), sex offending (Garland & Dougher, 1991), and a variety of other health behaviors, particularly in medical settings (eg, Jensen, 1996; Rollnick, Kinnersley, & Stott ...

Motivational Interviewing: A Theoretical Framework for the Study of Human Behavior and the Social Environment

This article provides a critical analysis of motivational interviewingstages of change model. Although rarely included in textbooks on human behavior and the social environment, this model has much to teach us about that aspect of human behavior most germane to social work practice-personal motivation for change of behaviors that are dysfunctional. The basic concepts that underlie motivational interviewing are derived from empirically-based principles from the science of social psychology. This article provides a historical and comparative approach to theory development, argues for the utility of this perspective as a guide to practice, and provides suggestions for further theory development.

Beyond behavior: eliciting broader change with motivational interviewing

Journal of Clinical Psychology, 2009

Descriptions of Motivational interviewing (MI) usually focus on helping clients change a single problematic behavior. In contrast, the current case study shows that MI can serve as a more comprehensive psychotherapy, focused not only on multiple problem behaviors but also on broader change consistent with its roots in client-centered therapy. In this case, the therapist interwove a focus on several discrete behaviors with a focus on broader lifestyle change as well as increased clarity of client cognitions, values, and choices, resulting in several lasting changes.

Core Mechanisms of Change in Motivational Interviewing

Psychological topics, 2022

This experiment used a dismantling approach to examine change mechanisms in motivational interviewing (MI). Seventy-two undergraduate participants who scored in the top 35 th percentile on trait anger were randomly assigned to: full MI (FMI), spirit-only MI (SOMI), or psychoeducation. They met individually with an experimenter for one 30-to 45-minute session to discuss their anger. In the FMI condition, the relational and technical elements of MI were both used to elicit change talk. In the SOMI condition, the supportive and relational elements of MI were emphasized. In the psychoeducation condition, the focus was placed on teaching the components of anger episodes. Participants were then asked to launch a daily, online, deep breathing exercise during the following week. Results showed that participants in both MI conditions emitted more change talk than those in the psychoeducation condition. Independent session ratings showed that despite the attempted elimination of technical elements in the SOMI condition, the FMI and SOMI conditions did not differ on the experimenter's acceptance, empathy, direction, autonomy support, and collaboration. Also, results did not support the main effect on program launches. These results indicate it is challenging to separate relational from technical elements in MI and, thus, to identify core mechanisms of change.

Measuring adaptations of motivational interviewing: the development and validation of the behavior change counseling index (BECCI)

Patient Education and Counseling, 2005

One of the most common challenges faced by health professionals is encouraging patients to change their behavior to improve their health. This paper reports the development of a checklist, the behavior change counseling index (BECCI). This aims to measure practitioner competence in behavior change counseling (BCC), an adaptation of motivational interviewing suitable for brief consultations in healthcare settings. The checklist has demonstrated acceptable levels of validity, reliability and responsiveness, and aims to assist trainers and researchers in assessing change in practitioner behavior before, during and after training in BCC. BECCI will also provide valuable information about the standard of BCC that practitioners were trained to deliver in studies of BCC as an intervention.

Solution, Motivation and Inspiration: A Brief Understanding of Motivational Interviewing (MI

Motivational Interviewing ) is: "a collaborative, person-centred form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change." MI, is an empathic therapeutic approach that is considered to be both client-centred and directive. It is strengths-based approach which elicits peoples' motivation to change, unlike other approaches that can increase people's resistance to change. It was originally developed for use in specialised drug and alcohol treatment. In these contexts the norm was that the client received multiple MI sessions of significant duration. In the thirty years since its origin MI and various adaptions of it have been applied in health areas including smoking cessation, HIV prevention, diet and exercise, treatment adherence and gambling. This article is an attempt to collaborate the principles, skills and strategies of motivational interviewing.
