Publication year:
1999
| Cataloged on:
Oct. 31, 2006
ANNOTATION: This website provides access to a TIP which shows how substance abuse treatment staff can influence change by developing a therapeutic relationship that respects and builds on the client's autonomy and, at the same time, makes the treatment clinician a partner in the change process (p. 1 -- exec summary). Points of entry are: executive summary and recommendations; motivation and intervention; motivational interviewing as a counseling style; from precontemplation to contemplation -- building readiness; from contemplation to preparation -- increasing commitment; from preparation to action -- getting started; from action to maintenance -- stabilizing change; measuring components of client motivation; integrating motivational approaches into treatment programs; directions for future research; screening and assessment instruments; and ordering information for assessment instruments.
