Sommers-Flanagan Clinical Interviewing

Megan,

Motivational interviewer encourages clients to talk about their need for change and their own reasons for wanting change. Motivational interviewing evolved from Carl Roger's person centered approach to counseling, as a method to help clients commit to the difficult process of change (Sommers-Flanagan & Sommers-Flanagan, 2017). The first goal is to increase the client's motivation, and the second is for the client to make the commitment to change.
