Van Horn & Bux 2001 - MI Group Leader Materials

I have received many requests for the group leader materials referred to in the article cited above (see abstract). Links to brief session outlines are below. Please read them carefully before using; most require the group leader to prepare additional materials for patients prior to the start of the group.

These groups are designed to introduce and explore ambivalence regarding substance use in an inpatient population. Our patients seemed interested and engaged by the activities. However, we have no empirical evidence that the groups accomplished anything other than keeping patients (and psychologists) busy for an hour! Let me know how they work for you.

Session 1 - The Inner Struggle

Session 2 - The Great Debate
