. Motivational enhancement therapy (MET): is a method of counseling that assists clients to help resolve their doubt (hesitation) about engaging in treatment. The clinician can counter this initial resistance to change, by reflecting back on the clients own statements on desiring to become better. This is accomplished by building a plan of change with the client, which is based on person centered motivations. The treatment is designed to support clients in recognizing and building on personal strengths to help change their addiction behaviors. Through the use of self-motivational statements during motivational interviewing a plan can be established between the clinician and client. There are key components to the principles of motivational …show more content…
Rolling with resistance is a key part of avoiding argument since the counselor encourages different views to choose from, giving new choices to the client instead of invoking resistance. Supporting self-efficacy is the client’s view of their own capabilities and reaching their own goals. The clinician encourages the client to make them realize that they are capable of many things. This can be accomplished by confidence talk or evoking clients to contribute to their own beliefs, actions, and understanding in the capability to change. For example the clinician meets with the client to assess their concerns. The client is resistant to any type of treatment for his alcohol abuse thinking he will be stereotyped and not be able to get a good job. He would like to be able to do a civil service job. The clients argument is meet with a preventative approach. Would it be better not to address you addiction, get a job and get fired because you did not correct it beforehand. Reassuring the client by showing him several blank employment applications that have no reference to disclosing any alcohol abuse …show more content…
Stages of change are interrelated with the stages of treatment. The client’s expectation of progress, through the treatment stages, are consistent in these stages of change. There are five stages of change, each with its own characteristics. First is the precontemplation stage where the client has no intention to change any time soon, and also may be unaware, or clueless of any problems. Second is the contemplation stage were the client is aware of the existing problem and has strong thoughts of changing, but has not established any commitment due to indecisions to move ahead. Third is the preparation stage were the client intends to take some kind of action in the future, usually within in a month. The clinician is the key in helping make a realistic assessment for the client’s goals. Commitment to change without the appropriate activates and skills can create a weak and incomplete plan. This stage is where some meaningful action has taken place in the past few months but has not yet been effective enough. Action is the fourth stage in which the client has made a definite and specific adjustment in their behavior within the last six months. It is important to provide reinforcement and support in helping maintain positive steps towards change. This modification to the client’s behavior is only in the form of action and should not be considered as actual change. The maintenance stage involves successfully avoiding former behaviors and keeping up with the new behaviors. In
A clinical assessment is then conducted for treatment needs. Different treatment plans are made for each client. Individualized treatment plans are used to make referrals and they are updated periodically.”
Motivation is a key aspect in the organization or workplace, and it is imperative to know the basic theory application and methods dealing with any problems that usually unavoidable for the employee and will come up in any work environment. This is a mandatory skills for a leader or future manager to know how important on how to motivate his or her employee to work more efficient. Motivating employees is a big dilemma for managers. To produce a higher level of performance and productivity, manager’s today are obliged to pay more attention on this matter. Every employee needs different types of motivation. In this paper will elaborate three motivational methods that a
Motivational interviewing recognizes and accepts the fact that clients who need to make changes in their lives approach counseling at different levels of readiness to change their behavior. During counseling, some patient may have thought about it but not taken steps to change it while some especially those voluntarily seeking counseling, may be actively trying to change their behavior and may have been doing so unsuccessfully for years. In order
In order to effectively execute this therapeutic technique, there are five basic principles of motivational interviewing such as the expression of empathy, the development of discrepancy, the avoidance of arguments, the adjustment to client resistance, and the support of self-efficacy and expression (Easton, Swan & Sinha 2000). Firstly, one must display an understanding and experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another from the other person’s perspective ((Moller & Potter 2016b). In relation to an alcoholic client, one must develop a therapeutic and non-judgmental relationship with the client. By the use of active and reflective listening, one can create an empathetic atmosphere by establishing a safe and open environment to facilitate the vulnerability and honesty of the client. By taking the time to understand the client’s perspective, feelings, and values, you will create an empathetic environment that will facilitate the process of motivational interviewing (Easton, Swan & Sinha 2000).
The theories relating to the motivational methods and techniques I have chosen to reinforce the information are the two-factor and expectancy theory. The two-factor theory was developed by Frederick Herzberg’s and falls under two categories the satisfier and hygiene factors. The two are linked and are identified as being turned

According to page 225, substance abuse is a maladaptive pattern of substance use that results in recurrent and significant negative consequences of substance use. What the Elyn Saks’ and Joanna Hari’s perspective add to my conceptualization of psychiatric conditions and substance abuse and treatment implications is that it has helped me recognize the link between substance abuse and psychiatric conditions. It can be difficult to diagnose certain types of substance abuse and mental illness. I found the video on motivational interviewing to be educational. Much of health care today involves client-provider relationships with providers helping the client. The motivational interview is a structured intervention designed to motivate the patient.
Kazemi et al. (2013) discuss the impact of motivational interviewing (MI) on the number of blackouts experienced by first-time college students who are high-risk alcoholics. Specifically, the authors conducted a study on 188 college freshmen who are high-risk alcoholics to establish the patterns of their blackouts when they are placed on MI. In this text, I will discuss why the plan by Kazemi and his coauthors was effective in the first place. Secondly, I will enumerate major issues of concern. Finally, I will suggest how I can improve the plan.

Motivation is one of the primary obstacles in getting an individual to participate in treatment and engage in the recovery process. Having worked in both inpatient and outpatient treatment facilities, I have experienced both motivated clients and unmotivated clients. Motivated clients enter treatment because they want to change their lives. Those who are motivated have acknowledged that their lives have become unmanageable and are looking to recover. By entering treatment they are seeking professional assistance to help them overcome their addiction and get their lives back on track. On the other hand, unmotivated clients may not necessarily be in denial about their problems, but quite frankly
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2014), only 21% of Americans are sufficiently physically active according to the guidelines set forth in 2008. Thus, living a sedentary lifestyle has become an epidemic, and one that is not without consequence. The CDC (2014) further states that one’s risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, stroke, depression, some cancers, and early death is noticeably higher for those living a sedentary lifestyle. Certainly, then, promoting physical activity is a simple intervention providers should practice to prommote overall health and prevent or delay the onset of disease. A motivational interview was conducted with Cherish Brown, a 22-year-old
Engagement and rapport building. The client is motivated for change and has a support system that will support him. I think in order to engage Terry, a good practice would be to empower him. He is used to taking high responsibilities and orders from others and following through. However when it comes to something that he sets for himself and no one else, he tends to not follow through. I think the goals to treatment should be mutual between the client and myself and the objectives clearly defined. Having someone that is going to follow through with Terry is something that I feel is important. I feel as part of rapport building with Terry, it is important for myself to let him know I am going to be there to guide him through the process so that it won 't become overwhelming. He should also be reassured that setbacks do not mean failure. Due to his history of setbacks, Terry has previously been known to not follow through with treatments, I feel it is because he has lost the accountable person to assist and empower him to no get off track.
For this situation, a plan is thought of and utilized by individuals from the family or other interventionist to face an addict and confront them on their behavior in hopes of change. During tradition intervention, the patient is giving a decision on whether they would like to get treatment or face the outcomes of their wellbeing risky practices (Eliopoulos, 2010). Also, the intervention procedure is organized such that the interventionist relates to a treatment focus to intercede with the patient and arranges the way to get them there. Both complimentary and traditional interventions concentrate on enhancing the strength of a given patient by concentrating on empowering such patients to accomplish a given set results (Eliopoulos, 2010).
Motivational Interviewing (MI) refers to a client centred counselling approach, which is directed to enhance motivation in an individual for behaviour change Miller & Rollnick (as cited in Christopher & Dougher, 2009). MI as a method understands and accepts that the clients are at different levels of readiness to change their behavior. It consistently focuses on goals to prepare the client for transformation by providing motivation for commitment to change (Bricker & Tollison, 2011) in the domains of substance abuse, addiction and risky health problems. It proceeds to make the client aware of the causes, consequences and risks that could be a result of the behavior. Through this, the client foresees the possibilities of enhancement and becomes motivated to achieve it (Jenson, Cushing, Aylward, Craig, Sorell & Steel, 2011). MI is coherent with the
