Motivational Interviewing - Condensed Training Notes
An Overall Person-Centered Approach
o Collaborative: Working in partnership and consultation; negotiating
o Evocative: Listening more than telling; eliciting rather than installing
o Respectful: Honoring the person’s autonomy, resourcefulness, ability to
choose
Ambivalence
o “Lack of motivation” is often ambivalence: Both sides already within the
person
o If you argue for one side, an ambivalent person is likely to defend the other
o As a person defends the status quo, the likelihood of change decreases
o Resist the “righting reflex” - to take up the “good” side of the ambivalence
Four Basic Micro-skills: OARS
o Ask OPEN questions - avoid short-answer, yes/no, or rhetorical questions
o AFFIRM the person - comment positively on strengths, effort, intention
o REFLECT what the person says - “active listening”
o SUMMARIZE - draw together the person’s own perspectives on change
Reflective Listening: A Valuable Skill in Itself
o A reflection tries to summarize what the person means; it makes a guess
o A reflection is a statement, not a question
o Levels of reflection
Repeat/Rephrase - Saying the same thing in similar words
Paraphrase - Making a guess about meaning; continuing the
paragraph; inferring some additional meaning that was not said directly
Double-sided reflection - Captures both sides of ambivalence (On the
one hand…on the other hand)
Amplified reflection - Overstates what the person says
Responding to Resistance
o Remember that “resistance” is just the other side of the ambivalence
o Don’t argue against it; pushing against resistance entrenches it
o Some responses that tend to defuse resistance
Reflection - Acknowledge resistance by reflecting the gist back
Amplified reflection - Overstating it a bit
Double-sided reflection - On the one hand . . . . and on the other . . . .
Emphasize the person’s ability to choose, control, autonomy
Ask about action – What would you like to do?
Change Talk
o Talk in a way that invites the person to make the arguments for change, and
reduces resistance toward change
o Common types of change talk (DARN)
Desire - want, prefer, wish, etc.
Ability - able, can, could, possible
1
Reasons - specific arguments for change - Why do it? What would be
good?
Need - important, have to, need to, matter, got to
Commitment language – What will the person actually do?
o People most often imbed change talk in other kinds of talk, so the skill is to
identify and respond to the DARN elements, while leaving the rest.
Eliciting Change Talk
o The simplest way: Ask for it. Use open, forward focused questions to elicit
desire, ability, reasons, need
In what ways would it be good for you to . . . .?
If you did decide to . . . ., how would you do it?
What would be the good things about . . . .?
Why would you want to . . . .?
o Decisional balance:
What are the good things about . . . And what are the not so good
things?
o Importance and Confidence rulers:
On a scale from 1 to 10, how important is it for you to . . . . .
Why are you at ____ and not one? (The answer is change talk)
On a scale from 1 to 10, how confident are you that you could . . . . .
Why are you at ____ and not one? (The answer is ability talk)
o Looking forward:
If you don’t make any change, what do you think will happen?
Where would you like to be in ___ years? What do you hope will be
different?
And how does _[smoking]_ fit into that?
Responding to Change Talk
o When you hear change talk, don’t just sit there! Use your EARS:
ASK FOR (E)LABORATION: When was the last time; in what ways,
What else? What other reasons?
AFFIRM - reinforce, encourage, support it
REFLECT it back to the person, infer meaning, add to what has been
said
SUMMARIZE
Giving Advice
o The person is more likely to hear and heed your advice if you have
permission to give it
o Three forms of permission:
1. The patient offers it (e.g., asks for advice)
2. You ask permission to give it
There’s something that worries me here. Would it be all right if I . . .
Would you like to know . . .
Do you want to know what I would so, if I were in your situation?
I could tell you some things other patients have done that worked. .
3. You preface your advice with permission to disagree/disregard
