Brief
Intervention
20. Motivational interviewing is a counseling style
based on the following assumptions:
• Ambivalence about continued substance use and
change is normal.
• Ambivalence can be resolved by working with your
patient's intrinsic motivations and values.
• The alliance between you and your patient is a
collaborative partnership to which you each bring
important expertise.

Which Communication Styles Do You Use with
Patients, and When?
28. Oregon SBIRT Primary Care – Curriculum Module II
Directive Communication Guiding Communication
• Explain why • Respect for autonomy, goals, values
• Tell how • Readiness to change
• Emphasize importance • Ambivalence
• Persuading • Empathy, non-judgment, respect
• Clinician is the expert • Patient is the expert
Communication Styles
What Makes Brief Intervention Different?
32. • “I just have a couple of drinks to help
me relax.”
• “I’m not paying you to talk to me about
drinking! Geez, I’m just here for a cold.”
• “Everyone smokes a little weed.”
• “Sure once in a while I drink more than
I should, but it doesn’t cause any major
problems in my life.”
• “My dad was an alcoholic. I don’t drink
like him.”
Sailing through Sustain Talk:
Pause and Reflect
33. “You are the only one who can decide what
the best thing for you is relative to your use of
alcohol.”
“I’m not here to tell you what to do. I’m just
interested in finding out what some of your
thoughts are and sharing some information
with you.”
“It’s totally up to you whether you make a
change.”
“You may, or may not, decide to make a
change based on our conversation today.”
Sailing through Sustain Talk:
Support Patient Choice
34. • A few good reasons to make the
change
• How they could change
• How important it is to change
• Persuade
• If you meet resistance, REPEAT!
(This is NOT using the spirit of
motivational interviewing)
Dyad Practice
35. • How would you make this
change?
• What are the 3 best reasons
to do it?
• On a scale from O to 10, how
important would you say it is
for you to make this change?
• Why are you not a zero?
• Give a short summary
• So what do you think you’ll
do?
. . . and just listen.
Dyad Practice
- With a Twist
36. “People are generally better
persuaded by the reasons which
they have themselves discovered
than by those which have come
into the mind of others.”
—Blaise Pascal
Quote
38. SAMHSA SBIRT, 2013
• What are open-ended questions?
• Gather broad descriptive information
• Require more of a response than a simple yes/no or fill in the blank
• Often start with words such as—
• “How…”
• “What…”
• “Tell me about…”
• Usually go from general to specific
Open-Ended Questions
39. 39
✓Ask for examples &
elaboration
✓ Anticipate response
✓Try: How…What…Tell me…
• Not yes/no or brief answer
• Not fact-finding
• Rather than: Why?
Open-ended inquiry
40. • What does your drug use do for you?
• How many drinks do you have on a typical day?
• What are the pros and cons of your drinking?
• Did you know your drinking could be causing your acid
reflux symptoms?
• What do you think about that?
• Where are you from?
Closed- or Open-Ended Questions
41. 2. Reflective
Listening
•Reflective listening is one of the
hardest skills to learn.
•Without reflections it isn’t MI
•“Reflective listening is a way of
checking rather than assuming
that you know what is meant.”
(Miller and Rollnick, 2002)
42. 42
• Statements. Not questions
• What you hear, what you observe
• Not problem solving or advice
• Selective & intentional
• Simple to complex
Reflections
43. SAMHSA SBIRT, 2013
• Demonstrates you have heard and
understood the patient
• Strengthens the empathic relationship
Why Reflective Listening?
44. 44
Alcohol doesn’t pose any problems
for you and if it did you would do
something about it.
Hanging out with your friends is an
opportunity to relax.
Drinking is not a problem.
“I like to chill with my friends. I’m not going to quit drinking
because it’s not a problem.”
45. Summaries
• Examples
• “So, let me see if I’ve got this right…”
• “So, let me summarize what we’ve talked
about”
• “Make sure I’m understanding exactly what
you’ve been trying to tell me…”
• Double sided reflections are often highly
effective as summaries to illustrate
ambivalence.
• “On the one hand, you like a, b, c about
your drug use, AND on the other hand, you
don’t like x, y, and z.”
46. When patients feel
understood they are more
likely to strengthen self-
esteem, become
intrinsically motivated, be
more willing to trust and
talk about making changes.
(SAMHSA SBIRT, 2013)
Why Summarize?
47. The Yale Brief Negotiated Interview, Manual D’Onofrio, et al. 2005
* Miller and Tonnigan, 1996; Prochaska and DiClemente, 1992
• Developed for use in emergency rooms –
D’Onofrio et al., 2005
• Adapts spirit and skills from Motivational
Interviewing*
❑ Patient-centered, collaborative approach
❑ Goal-directed conversation method used to
enhance patient’s own motivation to change
❑ Recognizes patient’s conflicting feelings
about a particular behavior change
