Building Knowledge in Motivational Interviewing
If you would like to explore the discipline of Motivational Interviewing, this course will give you an academic introduction to MI, based on Miller and Rollnick's Motivational Interviewing, third edition. Ten Video Lessons given by MI experts will help you gain knowledge of MI, its history, the evidence behind it and the techniques and rationales that form this approach. The Lessons are given by CIPC Director and Course Director, Daniel Mullin, PsyD, MPH, paired with practitioners from across the country. All are members of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) the international organization committed to promoting high-quality MI practice and training.
This training does not incorporate skills practice or coaching. If you would like to move beyond an academic understanding of motivational interviewing, research shows that active practice and coaching are important in developing the ability to use MI effectively. If you would like to become adept at using MI in your clinical practice, we strongly recommend you register for our full certificate training HERE
