MOTIVATIONAL ENHANCEMENT

THERAPY (MET)/MOTIVATIONAL
INTERVIEWING

Nasir Geelani
Clinical Psychologist

“ Where did all the sages get the idea that a man’s desires
must be normal and virtuous? Why did they imagine that
he must inevitably will what is reasonable and
profitable?”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky , notes from the underground
MOTIVATIONAL ENHANCEMENT THERAPY (MET)/ MI

Motivational enhancement therapy (MET) is a directive, person-centered


approach to therapy that focuses on improving an individual's motivation to
change.

What is MI?
Motivational interviewing is a client-centered , directive method for enhancing
intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence
SO WHAT IS CHANGE TALK

“Why don’t u want to change?


Oh come on, how can you tell me you don’t have a problem?
What on earth makes u think you are not at risk?

The Literal answer to these questions is a defense of STATUS QUO

These statements evoke confrontation and argumentation and the client or


person defends it,hence stands against change.

The position we hold in our arguments , we stand to defend it and hence


live by it.
