Abstract

This presentation will discuss the Motivational interviewing (MI) approach MI defined as an evidence-based collaborative, person-centered conversation style that strengthens a person’s own motivation for change and commitment to make a behavioral change. This approach is characterized by acceptance, empathy, and unconditional positive regard and, in turn, minimizes discord and fosters hope and optimism in clinical encounters.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Develop a contemporary understanding of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and the evidence base.
  2. Learn about the spirit, processes, and core skills and strategies of MI.
  3. Identify challenges in learning and implementing MI in clinical practice.
