Motivational
Interviewing focuses on the provision of accurate, non-judgemental
feedback regarding a client's risks and experience of problems,
while avoiding labels, confrontation and specific interviewer-generated
goals for client behaviour change.
In the
Motivational Interviewing approach, clients are assumed to
be in a state of ambivalence that can best be resolved by
highlighting discrepancies between perceived risk and actual
experience of negative consequences. By identifying the difference
in where clients are and where they would like to be it is
possible to explore a path toward change.
Motivational
Interviewing can be very helpful in working with individuals
who are considering movement toward changing their behaviour
but have not yet made the decision to take action. By helping
"tip the decisional balance" towards making a positive
change in their behaviour, Motivational Interviewing helps
clients who are not yet motivated to change find a reason
to do so.
