Motivational Interviewing

1. Introduction to Motivational Interviewing
2. MI for Supervisors

Introduction to Motivational Interviewing

This course will provide an introduction to Motivational Interviewing (MI), a counseling style conceptualized by William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick popularized by their 1991 book, Motivational interviewing: preparing people to change addictive behavior, which is now available in a second edition (2002).

The course focus is on the foundational elements of MI and the spirit or counseling style that underlies its techniques. The Stages of Change, a separate yet compatible model of change, will also be explored. This course is introductory and geared toward people with no or little exposure to MI. The ATTC plans to develop a more advanced course to be offered in the future.

Thank-you SO much for this information and training. I have never had a course like this one and have learned so much. I liked the weekly assignments and that we had deadlines, feedback and course instructors support.  I would recommend this program to other counselors. -
