The session are split to let participants take what they have learned on the first days, reflect on it, and so be ready for the more practice-based later sessions.
The course will cover:
- Clarifying what MI is and the situations in which it can be used
- Explaining why ‘confrontational’ methods are held to be unhelpful, from this point of view
- Understanding the role of ambivalence in motivation and decision making
- Creating a motivational atmosphere, asking motivational questions and processing the answers
- Strategies for working with ‘resistance’ and ‘denial’
- Assessing MI’s relevance to your own work through case-studies and practice
