No credible evidence exists to prove that punishing people reduces their willingness to cause harm again. In fact, research indicates that a harsh, confrontational approach does not work over the long term. So how do you motivate your tough clients? How do you create a client/therapist environment that promotes your client’s willingness to change?
The book includes both theoretical and concrete approaches that focus on problems most professionals have experienced. (2009)
- Explain the relationship between treatment readiness and motivation to change
- Discuss the use of the Good Lives Model to motivate participation in treatment
- Describe the goals and methods of the Rockwood Preparatory Program for Sexual Offenders
- List the four basic principles of motivational interviewing
- Explain the uses of motivational interviewing techniques in group treatment
