What's Hope Got To Do With
Motivational Interviewing?
An on-going conversation in the community of motivational interviewing
trainers and teachers centers on the role of hope. Based on my
clinical experience of 30 years helping people to think about behavior
change, I consider hope to be a crucial element. Clients and
patients often feel hopeless about their situation. Therefore, it
is the clinician's job to evoke hope from them by helping them to
remember past successes. Sometimes clients borrow the clinician's
hope until they can find their own.
Motivational interviewing trainers may also loan hope to trainees when
the skills of motivational interviewing seem elusive. As a
motivational interview trainer, I must model my hope that clinicans can
also incorporate new skills into their existing repertoire of helping
behaviors.
