MI Spirit
This conversation style is used to strengthen a client's own motivation and commitment to change
Motivational Interviewing
OARS stands for this
Open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, summaries.
You're engaging in too much small talk with the client
Chat trap
This acronym is used to recognize change talk
DARN CAT
You'd use this tool to learn about a client's values
Values cards
The experience of putting yourself in someone else's shoes and feeling what they're feeling
Empathy
These are two types of reflections
Simple and complex (feeling, meaning, metaphor)
The appointment starts to sound like an interrogation
Assessment trap
List two skills you can use to elicit change talk
Importance/confidence ruler, querying extremes, looking back/forward, evocative questions, decisional balance, goals and values, elaborating
You'd use this skill to offer advice or a suggestion to a client
EPE Elicit-Provide-Elicit
These are the four components of the MI spirit
Partnership, acceptance, compassion, evocation
You would use this if a client is getting too off-topic
Transitional summary
You're not letting the client engage in the case planning and change process.
Expert trap
Ambivalence
Affirmations will be more meaningful if they have these four qualities
Genuine, wanted, timely, specific
This component of the MI spirit states that MI is done “with” a client
Partnership
A reflection should have the intonation going in this direction
Down/neutral
You haven't met with the client yet but you've read the PSI so you know what their problem is
Premature focus trap
You're using this skill if you ask a client what would be the worst thing that could happen if they don't change
Querying extremes
These are the four processes of MI
Engaging, focusing, evoking, planning
You shouldn't use MI under these three circumstances
Conflict of interest, coercive power, unbeneficial
Affirmations should be acknowledgments of these three things
Effort, achievement, hardship
You're offering unsolicited advice, lecturing the client, and think you know what's best
Righting reflex
A client can express this part of DARN CAT without necessarily committing to change
Taking steps
Absolute worth, accurate empathy, autonomy support, affirmation
