1 (1.1)
When working in the care industry whether that is with the elderly, mental health or children it becomes apparent that you as an individual become empowered by virtue of being primary care for that specific individual hence being an influential figure in any individual’s life recovery and rehabilitation. Due to this factor we have had many horrific incidents which have involved individuals in a position of power and whom have abused this trust and disregarded legislation, policy and procedure to continually systematically abuse service users in a vulnerable position. It is no secret that this has happened and still

However, the therapy may also look at your past and how your past experiences impact on how you interpret the world now.
The concept of motivational interviewing evolved from experience in the treatment of problem drinkers, and was first described by Miller (1983) in an article published in Behavioral Psychotherapy. These fundamental concepts and approaches were later elaborated by Miller and Rollnick (1991) in a more detailed description of clinical procedures. Motivational interviewing is a semi-directive, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence. Compared with non-directive counseling, it 's more focused and goal-directed. Motivational Interviewing is a method that works on facilitating and engaging intrinsic motivation within the client in order to change behavior. The examination and resolution of ambivalence is a central purpose, and the counselor is intentionally directive in pursuing this goal.
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
This presentation is going to talk about person- centred care, confidentiality, respecting privacy and dignity and protecting from risks and harm. The common core principles are important to every Health and Social Care setting as they provide a basis for a general understanding of promoting good mental health and recognising signs of poor mental health among everyone receiving care and support. The aim of care home are to meet the identified needs of individuals who live in that home. An older person might need to live in that care home for years. It is important for staff to be aware of responsibilities in delivering care to support the individuals who live at that home. These common principles of health will help develop the workforce that respond confidently to the individuals and supporting the life they are leading.
We all want to be treated with dignity and it is a very important part of an individual’s life. Working in the health and social care profession it is important to help people maintain their dignity so they can keep their sense of self-respect and self-worth. All health and social care professionals should be sensitive and aware of the needs of people and service users. Just because a person has dementia, they still need to be given a choice and not assume that they cannot make a choice. Not everybody is the same, there are different levels of dementia, so getting to know the service user is vital to challenge discrimination. We also need to make sure that the service user or their families are aware of the complaints procedure. Having policies and procedures are put in place and that staff are up to date on their training.
Safeguarding clients happens everywhere and is to be used in every health and social care setting. This is not just for the able but almost the vulnerable people for example this includes elderly and people with disabilities.

Interviewing substance-abusing clients can be very difficult, especially when the client is minimizing or exaggerating their problems. I also agree with you that personal experience, or family history, of alcohol or substance abuse definitely shapes both the therapist and the client’s perspective on substance abuse in general. However, I do not think confrontational techniques should be used when working with clients who are addicts so the client does feel the need to become defensive, hindering the therapeutic relationship. According to Sommers-Flanagan and Sommers-Flanagan (2015), previous research indicates that motivation interviewing was a beneficial approach when working with client prone to addiction. Motivational interviewing
In psychodynamic therapy the thory belives that our past effects our present it works on the assumption that all of us have a suc-consious mind so things that have happened in our past that creates feelings that we are uncomfortable with and find to painful to feel so without our awareness we as human beings put in our own defence mecamisam so we sub-consiously denie these feelings, this thory belivs that these defences have gone wrong and are causing the client more harm then good during therapy we can identifie these true feeling and investigate them to see them for what they really are and then they become less painful to deal with.
Through learning from my first experience following motivational interview number one, I was able to gain experience and knowledge on how to increase my interaction with my patient. Throughout my last interview, I felt as if I was being too abrupt in wanting the patient to change but this time I felt I let him tell me the reasons why it was important for him to change, and I also was able to understand more about his past experiences with the
To begin with, treatment using solution-focused interventions is best suited for those seeking a fast lane to a quick fix, with less response from the therapist. “In addition, it helps clients with traditional problems and level 1 substance abusers” (Smock, Trepper, Wetchler, McCollum, Ray, & Pierce, 2008). Not to mention, clients seeking a quick fix or to seeking encouragement or motivation to refrain from old habits, with the assistance of a therapist. Nevertheless, the client fills the shoes of the therapist in light of the circumstances, however, the professional provides a format.
Professional experience in my career and personal experience receiving therapeutic counseling has given me a broad-based set of beliefs about what motivates individuals. I have determined that each individual comes with a unique context and narrative and that my role is to facilitate a client’s self-determination and decision-making by developing a positive relationship that allows the client freedom to take risks or make informed choices. Also, I believe that the counselor creates the trusting relationship where poor choices and failed attempts to meet goals can be explored and utilized by the client to move forward with lessons learned.
The first stage of change is the precontemplation stage, in this stage the client denies they have a problem and have no intention of changing. The only reason a client in this stage may enter into treatment is because of a court order or ordered by another authority. In order to encourage the client to move to the next stage the counselor would need to raise the client’s awareness of their behavior by providing non-judgmental feedback. Raising the client’s awareness also includes educating the client on the effects of addiction so they are able to consider if they have a problem.
Motivational interviewing is a great assessment to implement and develop treatment strategies for Joe because it allows the therapist to build a therapeutic relationship with the client. According to the passage, Joe is in a state of ambivalence where he wants
The road to recovery is one that many who have substance abuse problems might not like to consider at first. However, clinicians should be aware of what stage of change their client is in. Thus, the clinicians should listen attentively to what the client is saying because of the cues that will help determine the stage of change and how the clinician should approach the client. This being said, this essay will present Melissa’s case, discuss strategies to motivate change, adversity that she will encounter, and provide examples of how through motivational interviewing the ambivalence can be counteracted. To start with, the case will be focused on Melissa a thirty-two year old Caucasian female who by her own admission stated she uses marijuana on occasions.
Motivation is a hypothetical construct used to describe the internal or external forces producing the initiation, direction, intensity, and persistence of a behavior (1). Motivation for treatment describes the whole set of forces that determine entry, commitment, and perseverance in treatment. It is a dynamic process, rather than a static condition; the strengths of motives fluctuate over time (2). Accordingly, the assessment of motivation should be done more than once during the treatment process. Although motivation to change and motivation for treatment are surely correlated, they are not synonymous: Someone may be motivated to change without any intention to pursue a particular treatment. One can change by oneself, attend self-help groups,
