Learning
Creating better client engagement and greater change "People are generally better persuaded by reasons which they themselves discover, than those which have come into their mind by others" - Blaise Pascal Pensees (1670) At these 2 day workshops Dr Miller will present the latest research findings and treatment approaches for dealing with a multitude of client presentations, he will visit and practice core tenets of MI and integrate this knowledge with exciting new changes. In 1983, Dr. William R. Miller introduced the method of motivational interviewing (MI) as a way of strengthening clients’ own motivation for change. It spread rapidly into addiction treatment, health care, corrections, mental health and social work, and is now taught in at least 44 languages. Dr. Miller’s visit to Australia coincides with the once-in-a-decade release of a new edition of his classic book Motivational Interviewing with Dr. Stephen Rollnick. At this workshop Dr Miller will introduce a novel four-process model for understanding, practicing, and teaching MI. His workshop, suitable for newcomers as well as those skilled in MI, will introduce the important new developments and updates reflected in their 3rd edition, through a blend of lecture, demonstrations, and experiential practice. The clinical style of MI has broad applicability across professions, problems, and cultures. It addresses a fundamental aspect of human nature – ambivalence about change – that is a common obstacle in many areas of practice. MI calls forth the person’s own motivation and resources for change. Instead of implying, “I have what you need, and I will give it to you,” the MI practitioner communicates that “You have what you need, and together we will find it.” Beyond describing and demonstrating the clinical method of MI, this workshop provides clear guidelines for how to learn MI from the best teachers: your own clients or patients.
