Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Motivational Interviewing tailored intervention

MI is grounded in client-centered counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and social cognitive therapy. MI integrates the concepts of relationship building from humanistic therapy with active strategies oriented towards stages of change.The main characteristics of motivational interviewing are: expressing empathy, developing discrepancy, rolling with resistance, and supporting self-efficacy. The interviewer maintains a nonjudgmental approach and allows the patient to determine the need for behavioral change, rather than offering unsolicited advice on the need for change. The interviewer only explores ways to implement change once the patient expresses the desire and confidence to change. The goal of MI is to help individuals work through inherent ambivalence present in problematic or unhealthy behaviors and to help them verbally express reasons for or against change using a nonjudgmental, empathetic and encouraging tone.
