Motivational Interviewing

This module will help you consolidate your understanding of the core principles, processes, and spirit of MI. You will test your knowledge of concepts such as empathy, autonomy, ambivalence, change talk, and the four MI processes (Engaging, Focusing, Evoking, Planning).

The goal is not only to recall definitions but to recognize how MI translates into clinical practice — how language, attitude, and timing can influence motivation and trust.

Each question invites you to reflect on how MI differs from directive or confrontational styles and how it fosters collaboration rather than persuasion.

This section provides a selection of diverse resources intended to support your preparation for and completion of the quiz. The materials may include scientific articles, official reports, practice guidelines, and other relevant documents offering complementary perspectives. Engaging with these resources prior to or during the quiz will help you deepen your understanding of the subject matter, strengthen your analytical approach, and enhance the overall quality of your learning process.
