Ten Things That MI Is Not

​
Miller and Rollnick help clear up common misconceptions about MI.
MI Spirit helps people change by creating an atmosphere of acceptance, autonomy support, empathy, and compassion. The practitioner approaches ambivalence about change with curiosity and openness. This valuing, respectful interpersonal environment is an essential part of MI.
MI Spirit
O.A.R.S.
When combined with MI Spirit, O.A.R.S. are core listening skills that can increase a client's motivation to change. Open questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries help people talk more about why they want to change and how they could do it. Practicing these skills can also generate and strengthen MI Spirit.
Evidence Base
More than 200 randomized clinical trials have been conducted with MI since its development. Research indicates that MI is effective across a wide variety of behaviors, including diet, exercise, substance and alcohol use, and treatment engagement/adherence.
