Abstract: Trainees specify some of the client and setting characteristics that present counseling challenges, and the process elicits discussion of helpful techniques.

Overview: This method is used to open a training event because it anchors subsequent discussion in the real-life experience of the trainee group, and facilitates their openness to hearing about MI.

Guidelines:
The trainer asks the group to list the Atypical characteristics@ of their clients or patients, and records these on a large easel sheet.

''In science, when you begin to get somewhere, you find that the principle is quite simple but has enormous implications and is not easy to discover. I feel that we have made progress in client-centered therapy in approaching some of the truth of what happens in the process of change and how it can be facilitated.

Levels/Types of Training in Motivational Interviewing

==Eight Stages in Learning Motivational Interviewing==

1. Overall Spirit of MI
Openness to a way of thinking and working that is collaborative rather than prescriptive, honors the client=s autonomy and selfdirection, and is more about evoking than installing. This involves at least a willingness to suspend an authoritarian role, and to explore client capacity rather than incapacity, with a genuine interest in the client=s experience and perspectives.

2.

From wikipedia:
