Motivational Interviewing in Social Work Practice Quotes

“After your client tells you what the behavior is that they are ambivalent about, the social worker follows this script: (1) Ask them why they might make this change, (2) ask how they might do it if they were to be successful, (3) ask for the three best reasons to do it, (4) provide a summary of what you heard, and (5) ask them what they might do next.”
