This document provides an overview of Motivational Interviewing (MI) skills for problem gambling treatment. It discusses the MI approach, principles, strategies and microskills. MI is a person-centered, goal-oriented style of counseling that aims to facilitate change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. Unlike confrontational styles, MI maintains a non-judgmental, collaborative approach through open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening and summarizing to elicit the client's own motivations for change.

Cognitive therapy is an active, directed, time-limited, structured approach, used to treat a variety of psychiatric disorders (depression, anxiety, phobias, chronic pain and others)
Financial counselors and educators find themselves in a quandary. They offer their clients a wealth of information about how to overcome financial obstacles and achieve financial goals. However, clients often lack the motivation to act on this information. Good information is necessary but often insufficient to motivate action. Motivational Interviewing, or MI, provides a powerful set of tools any helping professional can use to motivate change. MI has been refined by 30 years of research resulting in over 200 published studies with a variety of populations. MI has been found effective wherever helping professionals need to motivate behavior change.

Attendees will gain insight into the stigma that is attached to individuals who have dual diagnosis and criminal justice involvement, as well as, the importance of instilling power and hope to the individual. They will increase knowledge of the stages of change and utilizing motivational interviewing techniques to assist the individual through their path of recovery from mental illness, substance abuse, and criminal justice involvement.
The objections of this presentation include: to experience and practice motivational interviewing, learn motivational interviewing styles and principles and see how it integrates into everyday practice.
The motivational predispositions we possess inform the way we experience the world – and they are with us through good times and bad. Developing a deeper awareness of our motivational drivers can help us with the essential and difficult work of self-regulation: making conscious choices to manage our emotional impulses and respond more objectively (and productively) to life’s challenges.
In this webinar, we explore:
The fundamentals of motivation: recognizing our drivers, as well as their complexities and contradictions
How motivation can manifest in our lives - in ways that may help us or challenge us
The cycles of reaction: identifying what our sensitivities are, how we react, and what we can do to mitigate their impact
In challenging times, resilience is especially critical. Explore how increasing self-awareness can help individuals foster the resilience they need to overcome personal, professional, and global challenges.

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. Topics we will cover:
! MI approach
! Comparison with CBT
! MI principles
! Strategies and micro skills
! Role plays
! Other MI skills
! Change talk
! MI in groups
3. Research background of MI
! William Miller noted that confrontation brought out
denial and avoidance of further discussion
! MI was based on Rogerian style - accurate empathy,
positive regard and non-judgemental approach (1957
– Carl Rogers)
! Non-directive style changed to agenda-driven,
directive style (in subtle way) but maintains non-
confrontational, client-centred approach
4. Research background of MI
! Comparison of MI (listening, restructuring, offering
support and therapeutic alliance) with confrontational
style (head-on disputes, challenging, disagreeing,
emphasising negative client characteristics, and use of
sarcasm).
! More arguments between client and counsellor in the
latter, but importantly, after 24 months, clients with less
conflict in sessions drank less.
(Miller et al, 1993)
! Empathy is single best predictor of success in
addiction counselling
6. Advantages of Using MI
! Increases people’s self esteem
! Develops their own motivation
! Developing skills in MI improves outcomes
! Takes into account that people’s reasons for
changing may be their own or may be a demand
or ultimatum from another
! Acknowledges indecisiveness is normal: There
are often as many good reasons to stay the
same as to change = ambivalence
7. Ambivalence
! The contemplation stage of change is characterised
by ambivalence (people hold arguments both for and
against change within themselves - a natural state). “I
can’t afford to gamble but I love winning money!”
! The contemplator’s experience may be described as a
kind of seesawing between reasons to change and
reasons to stay the same.
! The counsellor’s task at this stage is to help tip the
balance in favour of change.
(Motivational Interviewing - Miller and Rollnick, 1991)
8. ! Collaborative
– Partner-like relationship
! Evocative
– Elicit (draw out) motivation rather than instill it
– The counselling style is quiet and eliciting
! Respectful of individual autonomy
– responsibility for change is with client
– Client needs to be able to choose
– Client has the resources
9. MI: What is it?
“A person-centred, goal-oriented approach for
facilitating change through exploring and resolving
ambivalence”
(Miller 2006)
10. Comparison
CBT MI
Form of treatment An approach, a style
Empathic, directive Empathic, collaborative
Goal focussed Goal to elicit change talk and
resolve ambivalence
11. Comparison
CBT MI
Resistance met with correction Resistance is met with
of thought through highlighting exploration and reflection of
inconsistencies in beliefs client perceptions without
“labelling” or “correction”
Strategies (eg homework, Elicits possible change
diaries, Socratic questioning) strategies/problem solving
designed by counsellor to lead processes from the client
the client to confront
inconsistencies in their beliefs
12. Principles of MI (REDS)
! Roll With Resistance
! Express Empathy
! Develop Discrepancy
! Support Self efficacy
14. Which are Open Questions?
! “Would you like to stop gambling?”
! “How do you feel about your gambling?”
! “Are you concerned about your gambling?”
! “Would you please tell me more about your
gambling?”
15. Affirmations assist the
therapeutic relationship
! “It takes a lot of courage to be honest about the impact
of your gambling.”
! “You’ve accomplished so much in such a short time.”
! “I can understand why gambling to relax on Friday night
has been so hard to give up when you’ve been under so
much stress.”
16. Reflections: Questions Phrased
as Statements
! Reflective listening says:
– I hear you and I’m not judging you
– This is important
– Please tell me more
! “I learn what I believe when I hear myself speak” – client
states thoughts; good reflections enable them to hear the
essence of it again, to reinforce and emphasise change
18. Summarising
Summarising can bring together a client’s previously
expressed thoughts, feelings and concerns and shows how
they fit together. (select motivational aspects only, that you
want them to pick up on).
Functions of summaries:
! Collecting – gathers and adds momentum
! Linking – connects past and present ideas to encourage
self-reflection and insight
! Checking for accuracy (also emphasises a point)
! Transitional – prepares for shifting to new focus
19. Summarising: Examples
! “So you feel that… and also there are other things you
mentioned like…”
! “And I also remember you saying that…”
! “Here are the salient points.”
! “Have I got that right?”
! “We covered that well. Now let's talk about ...”
! A double sided summary can be used to highlight
discrepancy. Start with status quo, end with side
favouring change. “So on one hand there’s these
things… but on the other…”
! Next: “So where does that leave you now?”
20. Other Strategies and Skills - Scales
Using scales can be a useful way of measuring
motivation, feelings, progress, confidence, etc, on a
continuum 1 to 10.
! Example: “On a scale of 1-10, with one as having no
confidence, where would you place yourself as being ready
to change?” Client: “About five.” You say: “Five? So, why
is that five and not just two?”
This gives the client an opportunity to voice some reasons for
being half way up the scale and having some confidence
(voicing it reinforces that confidence and its rationale).
! If they say “two”, You say: “Why is that two and not one?”
and/or, “What would need to happen for you to be at six?”
21. Decisional Balance
When people are “stuck” and resisting change, they
know there are negatives connected with where they
are, and usually expect criticism, so are often surprised
to be asked first:
! list “good/positive things” (about current behaviour) on
left-hand column of the page
! list “not so good things” (rather than “bad things”) in the
right-hand column
Ask them to check the balance of both sides, then ask “How
does it look?”
Works best and often has significant visual impact
when the right column is longer than the left column
22. Benefits of gambling Benefits of stopping gambling
Excited when I win Spend more time with family (all
Easier to keep gambling happier)
Fills my time Have more money
Forget problems/stress Lift my mood
Boost self esteem/pride
Costs of not gambling Costs of gambling
Too much time to fill – bored Worse quality of life
What to do with stress? Depressed
What would life be like without Don’t like myself/what I do
gambling? Spend too much money
23. Benefits and Costs of Change
(Pros and Cons of Change)
! It’s helpful for the client to discuss positives and
negatives of current behaviour to clarify both sides of
their ambivalence (maybe for 1st time)
! Can then feel free to talk about their concerns about
negatives (costs) of current behaviour
! Feedback consists of reflecting positives of change and
any consequences of not changing in a summary or
double-sided summary
24. MI Process
! Tip perceived cost-benefit analysis by eliciting and
reinforcing client speech consistently with that person’s
motivation for, and commitment to, change
! As motivation increases, shift focus to development of
and commitment to a change plan
! As ambivalence resolves into commitment, client moves
to preparation stage
! As strengthened and maintained, commitment carries
through to action/maintenance of change
25. Transtheoretical Model of Change
Prochaska & DiClemente
Pre-contemplation
Contemplation
Preparation
Relapse
Action
Maintenance
26. Targeting Strategies to
Stages of Change
! Statements people make and answers to questions
indicate stage of change:
! Pre-contemplation: “It’s not a problem”
! Contemplation: “I like it, but….”
! Preparation: “I’m going to find out…”
! Action: “I’ve done this, next, I will..”
Assuming acceptance before they are ready can raise
resistance; Using strategies after change initiated can
cause frustration, lose credibility
27. Awareness of Stage of Change
! Resistance is encountered when you use a strategy
inappropriate to the stage of change
! Decision is an important part of change
! Counselling strategies that focus on how to change
(action), distract the contemplator client from the crucial
issue: commitment to change (decision).
(Motivational Interviewing - Miller and Rollnick, 1991)
28. MI Process
Use of open questions and reflective listening:
! To elicit increasing levels of “change talk”,
! To minimise resistance.
The strength of the client’s perception of the importance of
change and confidence in achieving it, underlies
commitment to change.
29. Change Talk
Eliciting “change talk” or self motivational statements is
important to heighten motivation to change behaviour
Ways to do this:
! Elaborate – ask for examples, clarification
! Ask to describe typical day, week or time
! Look back – life at a time before problems, compared with life now
! Look forward – what would you like life to be like in future - what
needs to change to get there?
! Extremes – worst consequences if no change, or best outcome if
changes are made
! Goals/values – what’s most important to them – how that fits with
what is happening in the present (can use Values cards see
www.motivationalinterviewing.org/library/valuescardsort)
30. Change Talk
Desire: want, prefer, wish etc.
Ability: able, can could, possible, might be able
Reasons: specific arguments for change – why do it?
What would be good?
Need: important, have to, need to, got to, should
31. MI and ‘Commitment Language’
! Practitioners practicing MI will elicit increased levels of
change talk, decreased levels of resistance relative to
more directive or confrontational styles.
! Extent to which clients verbalise arguments against
change (resistance) during MI inversely related to degree
of subsequent behaviour change
! Extent to which clients verbalise change talk (arguments
for change) directly related to subsequent behaviour
change
32. Commitment Language
! Desire: “Well, I want to quit using”
! Ability: “I can do it… this is do-able”
! Reasons: “I’m killing myself”
! Need: “I need to stop”
! Less strength “I’ll try to stop using”
! Commitment: “I won’t be using”
! Direct “I’m determined to stop using”
! Indirect “there’s no question about quitting this
time”
! Readiness: “I’m ready to do this”
33. MI and ‘Commitment Language’
! Of all “change talk” aspects (desire, ability, reasons,
need and commitment), only “commitment”
predicted behaviour change;
! And, not frequency, but the strength of commitment
language and pattern of commitment across the
session robustly predicted outcomes
! Desire, ability, reasons and need did not predict
change, but did predict emergence of commitment,
which is prognostic of change. (Amrhein, P et al)
34. MI in group Work
Using David Kolb’s (1984) model of experiential
learning for group work:
1. Reflecting on Experience
2. Assimilating and Conceptualising
3. Experimenting and Practicing
4. Planning for Application
35. Potential Group Benefits
! Socialisation, communication skills, learning from others
! Sense of community/relationship
! Shared experiences – normalisation, universality
! Hope, inspiration
! Support/acceptance/empathy
! Corrective emotional experiences
! Cost efficiency
36. Sharing/Reflection/Linking
! Theme (e.g. Counsellor offers open ended question/
invitation to group)
! One on one, first person in round shares (counsellor
offers reflective listening, emphasis on change talk,
counsellor checks that other group members are engaged
an listening through eye contact, body language)
! Theme (summary, possible link with last sharing, link to
big picture)
! One on one, second person in round shares (reflective
listening, encourages others feedback/reflection)
! Theme (summary, possible links with past sharing, links to
big picture) etc
37. Change Planning in Groups
Change planning in group
“After you leave today what is one change that you can
make to ….”
Why is it important for you to take this step?”
(On scale 1-10 how important to take step?)
How will you do it?
How will you know if it’s working?
What will you do if it’s not working?
How can the group (and others) help?
Use summarising and make links/emphasise
commonalities.
38. Values Exploration in Groups
! Invitation or open ended question to elicit what values
they have related to an issue the group is focussing on.
e.g. health, work/home balance, financial wealth
! Check out how these values play out in other
situations:
