Engaging Motivation 1 & 2

Audio-visual material made by Toni Gilligan and Pip Mason.
2006 and 2008

We made these recordings primarily to use on our own Motivational Interviewing courses. We have been training on this topic for 20 years and wanted some demonstration material that was relevant to the work lives of our course participants in England and that would provoke discussion and understanding of motivational interviewing principles.

1: There are 6 scenarios each 15-20 minutes long. Two (Liam and Steve) are located within the Criminal Justice System, two (David and Mandy) are in health care settings, one (Natalie) is in a drugs agency and one (Darren) is in a youth counselling context. The scenes are unscripted role-plays using professional actors as clients.

2: Two of the scenarios are based in a health setting (Sarah and Geoff), one in mental health (Jean), 2 in vocational training and employment (Jasmine and Shirley) and one in the Criminal Justice sector (Joe). All are unscripted roleplays using professional actors as clients. Counselling is demonstrated by Toni Gilligan and Pip Mason.

The material is not intended to be self-explanatory or a stand-alone teaching aid. We anticipate that it might be useful in the following settings;
For trainers, to be shown as part of a course accompanied by explanation and discussion.
For course participants to refresh and continue their learning after attending a training workshop.
