MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING, INTERMEDIATE SKILLS: DEEPENING YOUR PRACTICE

Abstract

There is a critical need to provide evidenced-based psychotherapy training to child and adolescent psychiatrists. Motivational interviewing (MI) is a humanistic, client-centered, and evidence-based psychotherapy that can be adopted for use in almost any clinical setting. This Workshop will provide an intermediate/advanced training experience in MI that both advances attendees' practical psychotherapy skills and guides them on the path to self-evaluation and to becoming trainers themselves, thus magnifying the impacts of this Workshop on clinical practice.
