This client-centered approach acknowledges that clients are capable of changing harmful behaviors such as substance abuse, non-compliance with psychiatric care, etc. The therapist seeks to draw upon the client’s own resources in order to move towards healthy changes that are self-motivated. Motivational Interviewing is especially effective with resistant clients. The participant will learn the concepts of Motivational Enhancement Therapy and the Solution Focused approach to working with clients who are resisting change.
Treating clients with co-morbid disorders (substance abuse and other mental health disorders) will be stressed during the workshop. The overlap of mood disorders and addiction will be covered as well as current data regarding prevalence and innovative approaches to counseling of the dually-diagnosed client.
