Question

Difference between motivationa interviewing and client centered

Answer 1

Motivational interviewing (MI) uses client-centered methods to elicit and pursue client change goals. Described as “80 % Rogers,” MI adds a directional component to classic client-centered therapy (CCT) while focusing more narrowly on momentum toward change versus the broader personal growth and deepening goals of CCT. This chapter reviews MI processes and strategies, and explores similarities and differences between MI and CCT.
