Motivational Interviewing: The Spirit

Collaboration (not confrontation)

• Motivation for change is elicited, not imposed

• Task is to help client articulate and resolve ambivalence

Evocation (not imposition)

• Draw knowledge out rather than imparting it

• The patient is the expert in their own lives

Autonomy (not authority)

• Responsibility for change belongs to client

• The client presents the arguments for changehttp://www.ytporegon.org/content/spirit-motivational-interviewing
