Discuss the four fundamental processes involved in MI

What will be an ideal response?


Miller and Rollnick (2010) have claimed that there are four fundamental processes involve in motivational interviewing: (1) engaging; (2) guiding; (3) evoking; and (4) planning. The process of engaging refers to the relational foundation of MI, which uses a person-centered counseling style that is characterized by listening to understand the client’s dilemma and values. The second fundamental process is termed guiding, which is characterized by its strategic focus. The guiding process of MI entails agenda setting, finding a focus, and obtaining information. The third fundamental process is labeled evoking, and it represents the transition to MI. The clinician evokes the client’s own motivations for change. During the evoking phase, the clinician engages in selective eliciting, selective responding, and selective summaries. The fourth fundamental process involves planning and constructing a bridge to client change. This process replaces the former Phase I and Phase II of MI. The clinician and client negotiate a change plan and consolidate the client’s commitment to change. Miller and Rollnick (2010) have affirmed that it cannot be motivational interviewing without engaging, guiding, and evoking; however it can be MI without planning.
