Define "Enhance Intrinsic Motivation"

Staff should relate to offenders in interpersonally sensitive and constructive ways to enhance intrinsic motivation.  Behavioral change is quite often an inside job; for lasting change to occur, there needs to be a level of intrinsic motivation.  Motivation to change is dynamic and the probability that change may occur is strongly influenced by interpersonal interactions.  Feelings of ambivalence that usually accompany change can be explored through MI-based communication to enhance intrinsic motivation.   When the offender begins to present arguments for change, research strongly suggests that MI techniques, rather than persuasion tactics, more effectively enhance motivation for initiating and maintaining change behavior.

Provide evidence-based programming that emphasizes cognitive-behavioral strategies and is delivered by well trained staff.  To successfully deliver this treatment to offenders, staff must understand antisocial thinking, social learning, and appropriate communication techniques.  Skills are not just taught to the offender but are practiced or role-played and the resulting pro-social attitudes and behaviors are positively reinforced by staff.
