The basic principle is that you can’t create motivation for the client, you need to create it with them. So by definition, what I can offer here especially, can only be an introduction to, rather than a full explanation of, motivational interviewing. Since this is a technique, and not a model to follow instantaneously, this needs thought, study, practice and/or training and a degree of confidence in applying this with a client. I would highly recommend Stephen Rollnick’s website if you want to find out more to start with. It’s about not trying to solve the problem for the client but to help them solve it themselves. Motivational interviewing tries to come alongside the client, rather than an opposites side problem solving ‘other’. This approach was born out of frustration when working with clients, offering them solutions and finding more resistance instead of motivation. Miller, Terri Moyers and Stephen Rollnick 1983 There are also links it the bottom to get your further research started. This website is intended to be a starting point and the main difference with other websites is the visual representation of the theory, which I hope will help get to grips with the theory.
It’s not my intention to give full information or an extensive discussion on every theory.
