Pdf Summary
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative approach aimed at enhancing a person's motivation for positive change. It emphasizes empathy, therapeutic alliance, and individualized, strengths-focused care over authority or power. MI involves four core processes - engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning, supported by key skills like open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening, and summarizing.<br /><br />MI offers various benefits in substance use treatment, including ease of use, applicability, effectiveness, and adoption. The method aligns with the stages of change model, emphasizing the progression from precontemplation to maintenance, addressing ambivalence, strengthening intentions, and offering support through action and relapse prevention. Peer support specialists play a crucial role in boosting self-esteem, confidence, empowerment, and treatment reception while reducing symptoms and hospital admission rates.<br /><br />Through reflective listening, affirmations, and a focus on intrinsic motivation, MI helps individuals develop and maintain new behaviors. It encourages active engagement, cultural responsiveness, and collaborative planning tailored to each client's needs and goals. By highlighting affirming phrases and roadblocks to active listening, MI aims to create a therapeutic partnership that empowers individuals to drive their change process.
