Motivational Interviewing Training Seminar
comMIt™ Motivational Interviewing Training Seminar with Bruce Berger, PhD, President of Berger Consulting and Professor Emeritus, Auburn University, October 28-29, 2011, Hilton Atlanta Airport, Atlanta, Georgia
comMIt ™ (Comprehensive Motivational Interviewing Training) is an effective training program to teach health care providers how to use the principles of motivational interviewing (MI) with patients to more effectively improve adherence with health behaviors and hence, produce better outcomes. Brief motivational interviewing is a patient-centered approach developed for use with patients who vary in their readiness to take their medicines or manage their illness and related health behaviors. The development of brief motivational interviewing was guided by the following principles:
1) it will be usable in time-limited health care situations
2) training of practitioners is feasible and understandable
3) it should address patient ambivalence and resistance
4) it is the opposite of advice giving
5) health care should be compassionate and respect the patient
6) the focus is on helping patients take responsibility for their own health outcomes and behaviors
7) it is used to assess motivational readiness on the part of the patient
8) it is confrontational (not argumentative)
9) a primary goal is to create motivational dissonance
10) it treats the patient as an equal partner in the decision making
11) it respects the autonomy of the patient
comMIt ™ is offered over a two-day period. While both days are recommended for health care professionals, attending Day 1 only is an option for those who mainly wish to be exposed to the principles of Motivational Interviewing. Day 2 will feature extensive practice with expert coaching.
