Motivational Interviewing within the social context
Paul Earnshaw explores Motivational Interviewing within the wider social context. The conversation looks beyond an individual “problem behaviour” to consider relationships, environment, inequality and the circumstances that influence people’s choices and opportunities for change.
Paul also discusses integrating MI with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the therapeutic relationship and the role of social empathy in creating safety. These themes connect with Partnership, Compassion and the Spirit of Motivational Interviewing.
