When working with clients to support their behavior change goals, does it ever feel like you're the one doing all the convincing that the change is worth the effort? Rather than spending your energy cajoling clients that your plan is "right", wouldn't it be better to support their own belief in engaging in behavior change? Well, that's just what motivational interviewing techniques can do. And since this well-studied process is only just getting interest in behavior analysis, we're joined this week by Dr. Monica Gilbert, clinical psychologist, mental health counselor, AND BCBA, to get a crash course of the basics of how motivational interviewing can improve communication between clinicians and clients to boost your therapeutic alliance building skills into overdrive.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
