"Integrating Motivational Interviewing with CBT"
Christopher Basten
Westmead Hospital & private practice
Friday
15th September 2006
About
this seminar: If CBT seems to work, then why add another
ingredient? This presentation outlines what motivational interviewing
is and describes how it can be readily integrated with cognitive-behaviour
therapy for anxiety conditions. Miller and Rollnick (2002)
argue that motivational interviewing is indicated whenever
ambivalence is present. Some case examples are used to illustrate
(a) the ways in which ambivalence is so commonly present,
and (b) how the clinician can respond to "resistance" and
enhance motivation when a client is "stuck". Because motivational
interviewing is largely Socratic in its nature, it is argued
that the technique can readily be integrated with skilful
CBT.
