“All change is self-change, to which clinicians are sometimes privileged witnesses and facilitators”

--from Motivational Interviewing, Helping People Change, 2013

Over the past few years there has been increased attention on Motivational Interviewing (MI) as an evidenced-based practice that supports both engagement and change. MI is a “way of being with others” that can strengthen relationships and open the door to behavior change. MI is collaborative and compassionate, while recognizing and honoring the autonomy of every individual.

In the recently released book, “Compassionomics”, the authors provide scientific evidence that caring (compassion) makes a difference in outcomes of the people we serve, in the costs of care and as an antidote to clinician burnout. When the spirit and skills of MI are fully embraced, safety and trust is supported. The person receiving MI is viewed as the expert about her/himself and it is the clinician’s responsibility to evoke and listen deeply to the ideas and beliefs of that person; it is their perspective and values that will support the change that is being sought.
