I can’t believe  that a person who is suffering
from hepatitis is still using alcohol frequently

Nurses inform a lot, give solutions
‘ Look, if you go and eat a lot snacks, you will eat to
many unhealthy lipids, your cholesterol will increase
and that is a cause of a heart attack.“
‘ you are short of breath and because of that you are
not doing any exercises“ Because you are not doing
exercises, you will gain weight, which makes you even
move less. So you can treat your own shortness of
breath. Maybe you can take a dog. Then you have do
some exercises, you will feel better.

Clients always have an answer…
-
“vaccination is disturbing the immunity of my
child.’
-
You can say that smoking is bad for my health
but my grandfather was 93 years old and he
didn’t  get lungcancer at all!

The core of Motivational
interviewing
People don’t change by hearing what others are
saying but what they are saying in reaction to
others (Pascal Blaise 17th century)
Definition
Motivational interviewing 
is 
a directive, client-
centered counseli
ng style 
for eliciting 
behavior
change
 by helping clients to explore and resolve
ambivalence. Compared with nondirective
counseling, it is more 
focused and goal-directed
.
The examination and resolution of ambivalence is
its central purpose, and the counselor is
intentionally directive in pursuing this goal
.
Exercise
Tell your neighbour about a behaviour that you would like to
change a lot.
Which behavior you would like to change?
How would you like to change your behavior?
What are the advantages/disadvantages of your
behavior
Which reasons do you have to change your behavior?
Do you think you can succeed in changing your
behavior (0-5)
What makes it difficult?
What could help you?
Which advantages/disadvantages does your new
behaviour have?
 
Manners to change a behavior
Motivational interviewing: 4
fundamental processes
Engaging
Focusing
Eliciting/Evoking
Planning
Engaging
 
= key concept
The judgement of the client about the quality of
the relation predicts if the client stays in treatment
and what the result will be (Crits-Cristoph et al.,
2011).
How?
What are the expectations?
Hospitality?
Positive and honest
Values and goals
15
Why talking about values with the
client?
Through reflection on values the discrepance
between values and behavior becomes clear,
the notice of this gap can be a powerful
instrument to change the behavior (Rokeach,
1973).

Open questions with a goal
To elicit motivation
Vb. What do you think that will happen when you don’t change?
Vb. What makes that people are nagging on you?
Questions that differentiate and scale quetions
Vb. When does it affect you the most ?
Vb. What do you think about your chances to succeed on a scale from 0-
10
Questions about the past and future
Vb. What are the things that changed since you started smoking weed?
Vb. How will your life look like in 5 years?
Open questions with a goal
The miracle question
Suppose you are dreaming, one day you wake up and all
your problems are solved. What would be different for you?
To focus on the strengths and possibilities of the client
What did you try already?
How could you handle all this untill now?
Book: 
1001 oplossingsgerichte vragen 
– F. Bannink
To reflect
= to check if your interpretations were correct.
Student: ‘ I don’t see a way out, I can no longer
handle it the way it goes.’
Teacher: you really would like to see some
changes.
Reflections
 
Simple reflections: paraphrase
“ I tried to do some things to make me feel better, but
nothing seems to help, except a beer.’
‘ You keep on searching for other solutions than a
beer.
Complex
= to add a meaning.
 
“ I can’t take it that he always gives comments on
the way I raise my children.’
‘ You are angy with him.’
 
 
Reflections with a goal
 
1.
To weaken a statement:
“I’m sick of it. My mother always comments on the way I raise my child. I
really hate it.
‘It irritates you a little bit.’
Yes it irritates me a lot, the way she always critisises me.’“
 
To strenghten a statement.:
“I’m  tired of it. My. My mother always comments on the way I raise my
child.
You are really angry with your mother.
It’s not that. She  is still my mother. It just irritates me. “
 
Reflections with a goal
 
3.
To focus on ambivalence:
I’m reall enjoying smoking weed.
My smoking causes some problems. It has to stop.
On the one hand you are enjoying smoking on weed and on the
same time you think it has to stop.
4.
To bring up new elements.
You are sad.
To confirm
Focus on something good, not on the lack of something.
Use the word ‘you’ ex. I think you have a strong personality.
Positive reconstruction. Ex. I’m really chaotic.
Exercise positive reconstruction
To summarize
Different goals:
What is the focus of the story.
To show that you are really listening
To check if you understood correctly
Not to lose track
Exercise summarize
Person A: tell a story in a very chaotic way
Person B: try to summarize the story in one or
two sentences
Overal exercise
You are a community nurse and on a daily base you see
Martin. Martin is 67 years old and divorced, he has 3 children.
Since 15 years he is suffering from diabetes, he also has
obesitas. He is not always thinking of his diet. A healthy meal
is replaced by lots of biscuits. He sleeps everyday till noon.
During the night he is awake. To forget his problems he drinks
alcohol.
Today you are going to Eddy and you are trying to have a
conversation about that.
Focusing
 
A patient in mental health care is having
hallucinations, is upset because he can’t find a
job, is feeling dissatisfied about the side-effects
from his medication and he recognies that he is
using more cannabis lately.
 
What is the focus?
 
 
 
 
 
Focusing: pitfalls
Too fast
Perspective of the nurse
Not a conscious process
Without consent
Role clarification
In –between information
Information and advice
Is there no space for ‘information and advice’?
Yes, there is but follow this pattern:
Elicit
Provide
Elicit
Advice is not the fundament of MI
Ask  permission
Underscore the personal choice
Information
 
G: OK, can you tell me what alcohol does to you, to your body.
C: First it makes me relaxed but afterwards I start shaking, if
you know what I mean
G: It sounds as if you really thought about it. You don’t know
for sure if alcohol makes you feel better or worse. If the alcohol
isn’t working anymore, something happens what you don’t
like. Can I tell you something about what alcohol does to other
people who are stuggling with alcohol?
C: Yes, OK.
G: When people are drinking,…
I don’t know what you think about what I told you…
What do you think about that? Is this clear? What can be
applicable for you?

How can you focus?
