3. What is Motivational
Interviewing?

as he is, but if you treat him as if he were
what he ought to be and could be, he will
become what he ought to be and could be.” –
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

5. The Four General Principles
of Motivational Interviewing
Express empathy
Develop discrepancy
Roll with resistance
Support self-efficacy
6. Express Empathy
Empathy can be defined
as the capacity for
participation in
another’s feelings or
ideas
Neutrality without
judgment or evaluation
Truly hearing and
listening to what
another is saying
7. Develop Discrepancy
Build discrepancy between
the way things currently are
and the way a client would
like things to be
Helping the client determine
how important a change
could be (ie. Discprepancy
between current behavior and
important goals or values
held by client)
Helpful tool: Decisional
balance worksheet
8. Roll With Resistance
Rolling means
getting out of the
way and not
engaging in it
Rather than arguing
against resistance,
rolling with it and it is
likely reduced
9. Support Self-Efficacy
One’s belief in his or
her ability to carry
out a specific act or
behavior
Critical in MI, as this
attitude can make or
break an effort for
change
Assessment of
readiness to change
11. Skills Used in Motivational
Interviewing
Open-ended questions
Affirmations
Reflective listening
Summarizing
Eliciting change talk
12. Open-ended Questions
Open vs. closed
Allows client to take
control of the
direction of the reply
Active participation
of client in
discussion
Open and
collaborative tone
13. Affirmations
Genuine, direct
statements of
support
Usually directed at
something specific
and change-oriented
Demonstrate
understanding and
appreciation
14. Reflective Listening
Active listening and
expression of
empathy
Reflecting the
essence of what
was said or what
you think was meant
15. Summarizing
Communicates that
you have followed
what the client
shared
Structure session
and keep on track
Emphasize certain
elements of what
was said
16. Eliciting Change Talk
Change talk is
statements in favor of
change
Indicates a desire,
ability, reason, or need
for change
Recognize and
emphasize these
statements and move
towards commitment
17. Behavioral Rehearsal
“Motivation is a fire from within. If
someone else tries to light that fire
under you, chances are it will burn very
briefly.” Stephen R. Covey
Let’s practice how to apply these skills
to our work in home visitation.
18. Behavior Rehearsal and
Debrief
Debriefing Questions:
How did it feel to be interviewed with these
techniques?
What examples of the principles and
methods of MI were used?
Which techniques seemed to work best?
What was the most challenging aspect?
19. Summary and Application
Although these skills may appear simple, they
are not always easy to use.
Mastery requires considerable practice.
How might you incorporate these into your
practice to help move your families in the
direction of positive change?
