IS MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING FOR YOU? • People have the right to live their lives in their own way, providing they do not infringe the rights of others. • It is rarely clear cut what someone ought or ought not to do. • Responsibility for changes lies with the person. • Health is not everyone’s top priority. • People often do know what would be best for them.

18. IS MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING FOR YOU? • Professional are not failures just because they can not persuade people to change. • Motivation is not an all or nothing concept, it is on a continuum and is subject to change. • Change is a process not an event. • Successful change occurs only when a person has made up their mind that it is what they really want. • Mason (2006) Dual Diagnosis Nursing p 254.
