Delaware DSAMH Course #708 - Motivational Interviewing

Resources mentioned during October 4-5 workshop:

 

1. Powerpoint slides that (a) weren't included in your handout packet and (b) weren't shown due to A/V difficulty. These are outlines of history of and evidence supporting Motivational Interviewing.

 

2. Group manuals (links open in a new window). More detailed descriptions may be found on the "resources" and "books" pages.

Motivational Groups for Community Substance Abuse Programs (available from Mid-ATTC for $18.00)

Group Treatment for Substance Abuse: A Stages-of-Change Therapy Manual by Mary Velasquez, Gaylyn Gaddy Maurer, Cathy Crouch, and Carlo DiClemente

My own dual-diagnosis Motivational Enhancement Group Leader Materials

 

3. Stages-of-Change oriented materials (links open in a new window). More detailed descriptions may be found on the "resources" and "books" pages.

Group Treatment for Substance Abuse: A Stages-of-Change Therapy Manual by Mary Velasquez, Gaylyn Gaddy Maurer, Cathy Crouch, and Carlo DiClemente

Changing for Good by James O. Prochaska, John Norcross, Carlo DiClemente (a self-help book, but can be adapted for clinical use)

Substance Abuse Treatment and the Stages of Change by Gerard Joseph Connors, Dennis M. Donovan and Carlo C. DiClemente (I haven't personally read this one yet)

 

4. Online Drinker's Check-Up. You can get a brief screening for free, but I don't see a way to look at the full evaluation without paying. Here is a paper describing outcomes obtained from the online checkup.

 

5. The Project MATCH MET manual contains a model for using assessment feedback as a motivational tool. It cites the DrInC and the Form 90 (also available in the Project MATCH series) as well as other measures.
