Describe the suggestions proposed by Krejci and Neugebauer (2015) for implementing motivational interviewing in group addictions treatment.
What will be an ideal response?
Talk less, listen more: Remember that the primary goal is to facilitate, elicit, and evoke, rather than to teach; Focus on the process of change: Listen for underlying commonalities across problem areas and use [reflective listening] to highlight MI-related themes, such as ambivalence, discord, stages of change, etc. Try to avoid prolonged discussions of the specifics of particular problem areas, unless you are certain they apply to everyone; Listen carefully: Model careful and empathic listening in every group interaction; Address group processes: Where there is conflict, boredom, anger, etc., be willing to address these in an open-minded and respectful manner; Highlight strengths: Openly affirm effort, strength, courage, honesty, etc; and Avoid excessive “solution talk”: Many group members (and some therapists) are quick to offer solutions and suggestions.
