Description:
Motivational Interviewing is a well-studied intervention that can have numerous health benefits for patients, such as improved medication adherence (Palacio et al., 2016), physical activity (Barrett, Begg, O’Halloran, & Kingsley, 2018) and reduced substance use (Frost et al., 2018). Motivational interviewing is based on the transtheroretical model, often referred to as the stages of change model (Norcross, Goldfried, Prochaska, & DiClemente, 2019).
The benefits of motivational interviewing extend to the mental health treatment setting as well. Use of motivational interviewing early in the treatment process can help improve client attendance in subsequent mental health treatment improved attendance in post-motivational interviewing mental health treatment (Lawrence, Fulbrook, Somerset, & Schulz, 2017). In addition, a recent meta-analysis demonstrates that the use of motivational interviewing plus cognitive behavior therapy outperformed cognitive behavior therapy alone in reducing symptoms of anxiety (Marker & Norton, 2018). Given the benefits of motivational interviewing for patients for a range of presenting problems and the capacity for motivational interviewing techniques to be integrated into other treatment modalities, motivational interviewing is a key skill for behavioral health providers to develop in order to enhance their practice.
In this training, participants will learn the theoretical basis for motivational interviewing, learn the spirit of motivational interviewing, how to identify which stage of change patients are in, and intervention techniques specific to each stage of change within the context of treating patients with anxiety disorders.
Agenda:
11am-12pm Lecture 1
- Stages of the transtheoretical model

Learning Objectives:
Participants will briefly explain each stage of the transtheoretical model
Participants will identify the stage of change reflected in patient statements
Participants will identify whether patient statements are “change talk” or “sustain talk.”
