    Episode 88 – Using Motivational Interviewing in Crisis Response


    Glenn and Sebastian welcomed Casey Jackson to discuss using Motivational Interviewing (MI) in crisis response situations. Casey is the CEO of the Institute for Individual and Organizational Change and an internationally recognised expert in evidence-based communication that drives real-world results. With over 40 years in behavioural health, Casey has trained thousands of professionals across healthcare, social services, first responders, and government—helping leaders and teams turn intention into lasting impact.

    He is a long-time member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) and the lead author of the Motivational Interviewing Competency Assessment (MICA), a widely adopted tool for building fidelity in MI practice. Casey’s work centres on translating powerful communication strategies into practical tools that empower people to lead with clarity, connect with purpose, and create lasting change.

    Using Motivational Interviewing in crisis response

    Casey Jackson explores how Motivational Interviewing can support crisis response, including work involving mental health services, first responders and law enforcement. He considers how communication can reduce escalation and help practitioners respond with greater clarity, empathy and collaboration when people are distressed.

    The conversation examines guiding, accurate empathy, partnership and evoking, alongside the importance of practitioner mindset. These themes connect with Reflective Listening, Partnership and the Spirit of Motivational Interviewing.

                • Ep 85 – Ambivalence and Motivational Interviewing

                  Glenn and Sebastian were happy to welcome back Dr. Allan Zuckoff to the podcast to discuss ambivalence. Allan is a clinical psychologist who has dedicated the past 30 years to motivational interviewing (MI) research, training, implementation, and practice. As a clinician, teacher, and clinical researcher in the departments of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh for more than two decades, he oversaw intervention development, training, and fidelity monitoring for a dozen clinical trials testing novel applications of MI in substance use, mental health, and health behavior setting; he has presented widely at international meetings and published more than 40 articles and chapters on this work. More recently, he has been responsible for clinical innovation in design and execution of MI-based telehealth advance care planning and patient navigation programs.

                   

                  Allan has been a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) since 1998. He served for nine years on MINT’s Board of Directors, including three as Chair, and was Editor of the MINT Bulletin and MINT’s online journal, Motivational Interviewing: Training, Research, Implementation, Practice (MITRIP). He has trained professionals from a variety of disciplines on three continents and served as a MINT trainer of trainers. He is the author of the self-guided MI book Finding Your Way to Change: How the Power of Motivational Interviewing Can Reveal What You Want and Help You Get There, published by Guilford Press and available in English, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish.

                   

                  Ambivalence in Motivational Interviewing

                  Allan Zuckoff explores ambivalence as a central human experience and an important focus within Motivational Interviewing. He considers ambivalence as an internal conflict rather than resistance, and discusses how values, importance and confidence can help practitioners understand the different directions a person may be pulled towards.

                  The conversation also explores discord, hidden ambivalence, values card sorts and the practitioner’s capacity to stay alongside uncertainty without rushing to resolve it. These themes connect with Sustain Talk, Discord and Reflective Listening.

                      Motivational Interviewing with couples

                      Tyrel Starks explores Motivational Interviewing with couples and the distinctive challenges that arise when a practitioner is working with two people in the same conversation. He discusses relationship functioning, finding common ground and balancing the couple’s shared goals with each person’s autonomy.

                      The conversation considers evoking change talk without forcing consensus, practitioner language and communication within relationships. These themes connect with Partnership, Change Talk and Reflective Listening.

                        Episode 82 – MI at Home

                        Glenn and Sebastian welcomed Stephen Rollnick, PhD to the podcast to discuss the application of MI to conversations with family members. Steve is a clinical psychologist and Honorary Distinguished Professor in the School of Medicine, Cardiff, UK, and a co-founder of motivational interviewing.

                         

                        He grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and lives in Cardiff, Wales. He was a practising psychologist in the UK National Health Service for 16 years, and then became a teacher and researcher on the subject of communication and behaviour change.

                         

                         

                        He has authored and co-authored books on motivational interviewing (Miller & Rollnick, 1991; 2001; 2012), and on applications in health care (Rollnick, Mason & Butler, 1999; Rollnick, Miller & Butler, 2007; 2022), schools (Rollnick, Kaplan & Rutschman, 2016) and sport (Rollnick, Fader, Breckon & Moyers, 2019).

                         

                        He has published widely in scientific journals and has taught practitioners in many countries and continents. He has retired from his academic career and now focuses on projects in elite sport and healthcare.

                         

                         

                        Motivational Interviewing at home

                        Stephen Rollnick explores how the principles of Motivational Interviewing can inform everyday conversations with family members. Rather than turning home life into therapy, he considers how restraint, curiosity and respect for autonomy can help us respond differently when we strongly want someone we care about to change.

                        The episode looks at conversations with children, partners and other family members, including what may need to change beyond behaviour itself. These ideas connect with Empowerment, Reflective Listening and the Fixing Reflex.

                            Episode 80 – MI and Behaviourism

                             

                            Glenn and Sebastian welcomed Dr James Anderson to the podcast to discuss MI and behaviourism. James is a psychologist and Chief of Psychiatry at Bassett Healthcare Network in Cooperstown, NY.  James is interested in the integration of behavioral health into primary care and improving the ability of our healthcare systems to provide whole-person care.  He has special interest in helping people struggling with addiction, and has published work on integrating accessible and effective treatment for opioid use disorder into primary care settings.  James takes a technically eclectic approach to offering psychotherapy intervention to patients in need, including use of cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and of course, motivational interviewing.  Theoretically, James views the human condition from a radical behaviorist viewpoint, and contrary to the common view of such an approach as encouraging a mechanistic and cold world view, sees behaviourism as underlying a philosophy of acceptance and tolerance of others.

                            Motivational Interviewing and behaviourism

                            James Anderson explores the relationship between Motivational Interviewing and behaviourism. He explains what behaviourism means, how behavioural principles can inform conversations about change and why a behavioural perspective need not conflict with compassion, acceptance or whole-person care.

                            The discussion also considers the integration of MI with other therapeutic approaches and practical applications of behavioural concepts. These themes connect with Compassion, Acceptance and the Spirit of Motivational Interviewing.
