Reflection on the clinician’s integration of motivational interviewing processes and core skills into his conversation with the client.

 


Post a reflection on the clinician’s integration of motivational interviewing processes and core skills into his conversation with the client.

 

Watch the Using Motivational Interviewing Approaches video (RNAO Communications, 2015). Pay close attention to the clinician's use of motivational interviewing processes and core skills as he talks with Nathan about his substance use and misuse.


Describe two examples from the video where you saw evidence of a motivational interviewing process (engaging, focusing, evoking or planning) and explain how they impacted the conversation with the client.  


Describe two examples from the video where you saw evidence of a motivational interviewing core skill (open questions, affirmation, reflecting, or summarizing) and explain how they impacted the conversation with the client.


Explain how the clinician’s use of motivational interviewing might impact the next steps in the treatment process.

It's a bit difficult for me to directly watch the "Using Motivational Interviewing Approaches video (RNAO Communications, 2015)" as I am an AI and cannot access external video content. Therefore, I cannot provide specific examples from the video of the clinician's use of MI processes and core skills with Nathan.

However, I can offer a general reflection on how a clinician's integration of Motivational Interviewing (MI) processes and core skills would typically look in a conversation with a client like Nathan, and how it would impact the treatment process. This will be based on the principles of MI, assuming the clinician in the video effectively demonstrates these techniques.
