Description
Presenter: Abby Altman, PhD
Overview.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered counseling approach designed to explore and resolve ambivalence, thereby promoting behavior change. Central to MI are the engaging and evoking techniques, which are pivotal in fostering a collaborative dialogue between the therapist and the client. Engaging involves building a trusting relationship, where the client feels heard and understood. This lays the groundwork for evoking, which focuses on drawing out the client’s own motivations and commitment to change.
Objectives.
- Attendees will be able to describe the core techniques of engaging and evoking within Motivational Interviewing
- Attendees will be able to explain how these techniques of engaging and evoking facilitate the exploration of ambivalence and behavior change in clients.
- Attendees will demonstrate the ability to recognize engaging and evoking techniques in simulated counseling scenarios using open-ended questions, reflective listening, and affirmations to foster client motivation for behavior change.
