Abstract:

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a person-centered counseling method to strengthen autonomous motivation for change and mobilize internal resources.

A large outcome literature indicates that MI often sparks a turning point in addiction careers. It has been a key element in screening and brief intervention, and appears to be of differential benefit with people from historically disempowered groups. Dr. Miller, the original developer of MI, will describe key components of MI and consider possible applications to build recovery capital including:

(1) outreach with “low motivation” clients,

(2) ongoing recovery check-ups,

(3) individualizing recovery plans,

(4) peer communication styles in mutual-help groups,

(5) sampling of recovery-relevant resources and activities,

(6) mobilizing family and social capital,

(7) exploring values and meaning in recovery. He will also address the importance of one’s underlying mindset and “heartset” in helping relationships

Learning Objectives:

1. Differentiate the four component processes of motivational interviewing.
2. Describe the client behaviors of “change talk” and “sustain talk” and give examples of each.
3. Identify at least three different ways in which motivational interviewing can be used in building recovery capital.
