Motivational Interviewing Miniseries Part 2 with Qi Te and Gill Strait


Listen Later

We're back on the Motivational Interviewing (MI) horse today with Gill's doctoral student, Qi Te, cohosting. We get into the spirit, processes, and roadblocks (i.e., "Don't's") of MI; listener questions about what makes MI different from regular counseling or common sense; debates about using overstatements in MI; and ideas for teachers who want to use MI--or at least its spirit--in interactions with students and parents.

Honorable Mentions:

  • William Miller's book for regular people, Listening Well: https://www.amazon.com/Listening-Well-Art-Empathic-Understanding/dp/1532634846 
  • Alison Gopnik's parenting book, The Gardener and the Carpenter: https://www.amazon.com/Gardener-Carpenter-Development-Relationship-Children/dp/1536617830 
  • CrossFit interview with Stephen Rollnick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKwmjYDIa98

Qi Te is a first-year PsyD student at UH Clear Lake. He worked as a high school counselor in Beijing and had a professional background in student leadership development. In his spare time, Qite loves to sweat doing crossfit and washing dishes while listening to his favorite podcasts. His goal this year is to finish his thesis and to find out who makes the best BBQ in Houston.
