Yvette and Stephanie introduced the concept of motivational interviewing covering the spirit of motivational interviewing and why we might want to use motivational interviewing in our daily practices. A mock interview was also enacted to show how the patient/client reacts to standard (or non motivational interviewing style) versus an enactment using motivational interviewing techniques and skills. The goal of motivational interviewing was connected to behaviour change and how by increasing a persons intrinsic motivation we can precipitate behaviour change.
