MILLER’S RESEARCH A PROVIDER CAN SIGNIFICANTLY
INFLUENCE CLIENT MOTIVATION
MOTIVATION IS NOT SEEN AS A CLIENT TRAIT, BUT THE INTERPERSONAL PROCESS BETWEEN CLIENT AND
PROVIDER
HOW A PROVIDER THINKS ABOUT MOTIVATION AND CHANGE GREATLY
INFLUENCES WHAT A PROVIDER DOES
What is Motivational Interviewing?
…a collaborative, person-centered form of guidance to elicit motivation for change”

MILLER’S BROAD PRINCIPLES
Express empathy
Develop discrepancy
Roll with resistance(Avoid argumentation)
Support self-efficacy
CONFRONTATION IS THE GOAL, NOT THE STRATEGY
Assist clients in exploring their own arguments for change
Clients come face to face with a difficult reality in a way that will change them
Open-ended Questions Questions that cannot be
answered “yes/no”, but which encourage clients to express
their thoughts, feelings, or concerns
Change to Open-Ended Questions
1. Do you feel you have a problem with alcohol?
2. Is it important to you to complete supervision successfully?
3. Anything else?
Handout – c / o questions
Yes / No Role Play
• (1) Speaker: “One thing I like about myself is…”
• (2) Listeners: Tag team “By that do you mean…”
• Speaker: Only respond by saying: “Yes or No”
*Everyone takes a turn.
Affirmations Include…Commenting positively on an attribute– You’re a strong person, a real survivor.
A statement of appreciation – I appreciate your openness and honesty today.
Catch the person doing something right– Thanks for coming in today!
An expression of hope, caring, or support– I hope this weekend goes well for you!A statement to support self-efficacy– I noticed you showed up on time – How did you
manage that?
Practicing AffirmationsWrite down 4 affirmations for the following statement:
“I'm sick of this, everything just keeps getting messed up. I do good for a week and then the other kids start getting on my nerves, talking about my family. I go to that program, I'm learning stuff. I think it's helping and then the same day I get into a huge fight and end up in lockdown. Staff doesn't like me, I can't do anything right. They're always on my case. I don't know what you all want from me. I'm just trying to get by in here. It's not as easy as you make it sound.”
Handout
Reflective Listening Accurate understanding of client’s experience,
communicated in a warm, non-judgmental manner.
Simple Reflections
Repeat- These reflections add nothing at all to what the client has said, but simply repeat or restate it using some or all of the same words.
Rephrase- These reflections stay close to what the client has said, slightly rephrase it, usually by substituting a synonym. It is the same thing said by the client, but in a slightly different way.
Complex Reflections
Paraphrase- These reflections change, or add to what the client has said in a significant way to infer the client’s meaning.
Reflect Emotion- Regarded as the deepest form of reflection, this is a paraphrase that emphasizes the emotional dimensions through feeling statements.
Reflect Double – Sided Ambivalence – Sustain Talk & Change Talk – “good things and not so good things” about keeping the status quo.
Levels of ReflectionsC. Even though nothing has happened I’ve been
feeling more depressed lately. I wish it would go away.
Repeat: You’ve been more depressed lately.Rephrase: So your sadness is getting worse and
you don’t know why.Emotion: You’re worried that nothing is going to
change.Paraphrase: You would like to understand why
your mood changes like that.Double-Sided: So on the one hand you’ve been
living with depression and on the other hand you’re tired of it and wondering what to do.
Increase Quality of ReflectionsBY:
• Making sure inflection
is a statement
• Strip statement down
• Clear and Concise
• Use reflections to
continue the paragraph
Reflective Listening Exercises
“I don’t know why this is such a big deal for everyone else. All my friends drink like I do.”
“Everyone should just relax. I’m doing the best I can with trying to find a job.”
“I know I’m suppose to take my meds but you don’t know my friends. It’s basically impossible to take them when we hang out.”
Reflective Listening Exercises
“I am feeling very trapped and hopeless about my situation. No one seems to want to help me.”
“People are always making me do things I don’t want to do. Even my wife keeps nagging me about taking those pills.”
Reflection Role Play
• (1) Speaker: “One thing about myself I’d like to change…”
• (2) Listeners:
Use reflections only; no questions.
Make sure inflection is a statement and not a question.
* Speaker stays in role and talks.

Summarizing Bringing together of several of
the client’s previously expressed thoughts, feelings, or concerns, often including the clinician’s understanding of how these fit
together.
