I agree -- this a great example of motivational interviewing. There was a two-way interaction in this scenario and the provider asked the client what she thought was manageable . It was also good that she asked about her confidence level and what the perceived barriers were in the current situation, compared to what motivated her to stop smoking in the past.

You have my permission to use these videos for your training. Glad to help!

WOW! What a difference in an approach from an ineffective physician. Great example of how we should communicate with our clients

Thank you for posting this terrific set of videos. These are so well done and terrific examples of both anti-MI practice and exemplary MI practice. These videos will be a tremendous resource for individuals who are trying to learn and master MI techniques for health behavior change. Thanks again!

Unlike the ineffective physician, this physician does an excellent job of showing empathy. She also repeatedly uses mirroring techniques and build's confidence and self-efficacy by using the scale of 1 to 10. Excellent in helping the client build her OWN goals! BL, ND, JG

I really enjoyed these two videos. Great examples demonstrating the process of working with the patient to achieve progress and a desire to change their lifestyle.

The physician often repeated back to the client what she had already verbalized, but in different words. The use of mirroring like that is important when counseling clients in need of behavior change. She also never seemed judgmental, which is essential to creating a positive relationship with a client.
