About This Course

We have at our disposal an array of evidence-based practices (EBPs) for a variety of disorders (e.g., depression, PTSD, OCD, etc.). However, there is a significant proportion of clients who have difficulties engaging in those EBPs. A motivational interviewing approach (MI) may help resolve ambivalence related to EBP engagement. MI is defined as a collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person's own motivation and commitment to change (Miller & Rollnick, 2012). Integrating and overlaying this MI style onto an EBP can help overcome engagement challenges (e.g., homework completion) and continue to move individuals in the direction of change. There is also value in using MI as a prelude to an EBP to shore up motivation and to facilitate engagement in the EBP. The purpose of this workshop is to describe the value of leveraging MI for other EBPs, including CBT, and to discuss applications of MI in other disorders commonly comorbid with substance use disorders.

Learning Objectives: 

• Identify treatment components associated with Motivational Interviewing (MI)
• Describe how MI might benefit clients with other comorbid disorders
• Review the current and past investigations of incorporating MI into other EBPs
• Learn how to formulate an integrated case conceptualization mapping cognitive distortions with readiness for change.
• Demonstrate proficiency on using CBT homework to navigate motivational roadblocks
• Design a collaborative, values-based change plan with client’s intrinsic motivators and measurable behavioral CBT goals.
