What is MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING?
• Intervention designed to mobilize client’s internal resources for change by enhancing intrinsic motivation.
• A style of being with people, not just a set of techniques
• An important goal is to clarify values and amplify discrepancies
• Purpose is to move person through the stages of change
from Morgenstern-”Motivational Interviewing”
![Page 17: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Philosophy of Motivational Interviewing
• MI is a technique in which you become a helper – not a dictator – in the change process for your client.
• In criminal justice we are used to telling people what to do.
• This is a different style of interview and counseling.
![Page 18: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Goal Of Motivational Interviewing
The goal of MI is to create a safe and supportive rapport with a person, in order to facilitate their thinking about their behavior and whether/how they might go about making changes.
![Page 19: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Confrontation: A Goal Not a Style
![Page 20: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
AMBIVALENCE
“I want to but I don’t want to”
![Page 21: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Important Assumptions in Motivational Interviewing
• Clients are AMBIVALENT about changing.
• There are BOTH pros AND cons to getting off of drugs vs. continuing to use.
![Page 22: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ambivalence about quitting
• We in criminal justice don’t typically see that for the client there are at least some good reasons to continue to use.
• MI recognizes that ambivalence about quitting is NORMAL.

Exercise
Share an example with your team of how you, in your role, can assist with increasing motivation.
![Page 25: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
DEVELOPING DISCREPANCY
• Motivation for change is enhanced when clients perceive the discrepancies between their current situations and behaviors, and their hopes and goals for the future.
• Let the client present the argument for change.
![Page 26: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• “Tell me the good parts about using.”• “Tell me the negatives.”
You will often hear about damaged family relationships, especially with the client’s children.
• “How do these weigh out to you?”• “Where do you think you go from here?”
![Page 27: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Have the client state the solution of what he must do to achieve his stated goals, desires, wants, and
wishes.
![Page 28: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Take Home Message:
• Motivation to change is elicited from the client, and not imposed from without.
• It is the client's task, not the interviewer’s, to articulate and resolve his or her ambivalence.
![Page 29: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Exercise
• Pair up• Pick a real-life behavior change you want to
make (be sure it’s one you want to share!)• One is the case manager and one is the drug
court participant—then switch.• As the case manager, help your partner
develop discrepancy. By the end, and without asking directly, see if you can determine if your partner is low importance/low ability; low importance/high ability; high importance/low ability; high importance/high ability.

3. Target Interventions
a. Risk Principle: Prioritize supervision and treatment resources for higher risk offenders.
b. Need Principle: Target interventions to criminogenic needs.
c. Responsivity Principle: Be responsive to temperament, learning style, motivation, culture, and gender when assigning programs.
![Page 31: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Meeting Client’s Needs• “client’s” not “clients’”• What does this client need?• How do we know?
– Assessment– Interviewing-ASK HER!
• Comprehensive case management– Realistic case planning– Incremental objectives
• Treatment matching– Gender appropriate– Culturally relevant

What do Drug Court Participants need?
![Page 33: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What Goals Are Set For Clients?
• Are there target behaviors that all clients must achieve?
• Are they different in the beginning of the program?
• Does your department/agency have differing goals for clients than the drug court, or are they consistent?
• How individualized can goals be for each client?
![Page 34: Because I Said So: How to Support Adult Clients through Change Louisiana Association of Drug Court Professionals April 11-13, 2012 Jane E. Pfeifer, MPA](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070305/5513cfcd55034646298b5080/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Exercise
• As a team:– identify two strengths of your case
management services.– identify two challenges with your case
management process, and discuss possible solutions.
