What are the five principles of MI? Provide a brief description of each.

What will be an ideal response?


(1) Avoiding argumentation: Do not argue with the clients. Persuasion, lecturing, not listening, and offering unsolicited advice are all examples of how a clinician can unintentionally create an argumentative environment.
(2) Rolling with resistance: Respect that clients feel ambivalent about changing and acknowledge that it is normal. Clinicians “roll” with it by offering new perspectives, reflecting feelings and staying consistent with MI spirit.
(3) Express empathy: This is the most important component of MI. Reflective statements are the primary vehicle of conveying empathy.
(4) Developing discrepancy: Develop or illuminate discrepancies between the goals/values of the client and their current behaviors in order to make them aware of the contradiction. Client will recognize the discrepancy and internal struggle to change.
(5) Supporting self-efficacy: Support client’s confidence in ability to make change.
