Motivational Interviewing - Practices from the Heart-Motivational Interviewing

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation by Antoine Ndwehi focuses on Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a collaborative conversational style to strengthen a person's own motivation and commitment to change. MI has evolved through four editions since 1991 and is based on a person-centered, Rogerian-based counseling style. The presentation emphasizes the importance of establishing a therapeutic relationship, focusing on strategic direction, evoking motivation from within the individual, and creating a change plan. MI utilizes skills such as open questions, affirmations, reflective listening, and summarization to elicit change talk from the individual. The speaker highlights the efficacy of MI in various settings and populations, with more than 30 years of research supporting its effectiveness across a wide range of behaviors and conditions. The presentation concludes with a focus on the learnability of MI, the importance of fidelity and feedback in practicing MI, and the ultimate goal of MI to empower individuals to make positive behavioral changes.
