Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, person-centered conversation to elicit and strengthen motivation for change while addressing issues of ambivalence to change. Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based practice with a high rate of positive effect. This video reviews the "spirit of MI", MI Principles, OARS, Rolling with Resistance, and Eliciting Change Talk. This video guides you through each aspect of MI with clinical demonstrations throughout. The authors work with Connor, an adolescent male trying to quit smoking; Ray, a Latino adult male struggling with a major life decision; and Rochelle, an African American young woman mandated to treatment after a DUI.
