Аннотация

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach that is versatile and can be applied in many professional settings. Therefore, teaching MI skills to multidisciplinary groups simultaneously has the potential to be quite beneficial for strengthening the MI skills of different groups. This paper describes a project in which professionals and students from psychology and nutrition/ dietetics were trained in MI in an attempt to bolster both groups’ ability to implement MI as part of a larger health intervention project. Specifically, we outline the common themes that emerged among the trainees’ experiences. Implementing a multidisciplinary training program in which trainees use their expertise and contribute to the training process appeared to have created a rich learning environment. 

Биография автора

Michael B. Madson, Department of Psychology, University of Southern Mississippi

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA. My PhD is in counseling psychology. I completed MINT training in 2006 in Miami, Florida, USA, with Denise Ernst and Ralf Demmel. I primarily train master's and doctoral students; I teach courses in counseling theories, alcohol and drug abuse treatment, and clinical supervision, and supervise advanced students in our training clinic. My areas of interest include screening and brief interventions for college student alcohol abuse, protective behavioral strategies, and motivational interviewing with a variety of health behaviors. Currently I am an investigator on a project funded by the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities examining an MI enhanced nutrition program focused on reducing hypertension. I am also interested in researching MI training. I have published 19 referreed journal articles, bulletin articles and book chapters. I hope that my experience as an editorial board member (Journal of Addiction & Offender Counseling, Rehabilitation Counselors and Educators Association Journal, Journal of Teaching in the Addictions) and peer reviewer (e.g., Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, Drug and Alcohol Dependence, Training and Education in Professional Psychology, Psychology of Addictive Behaviors) will assist our team in disseminating state of the art articles on MI theory and research in a fashion that is applicable and valuable to all MI trainers, practitioners and researchers alike and will facilitate further examination and refinement of MI. I encourage manuscript submissions from those new to MI as well as MI veterans. It is through the diverse contributions of ideas and research that we will truly advance all aspects of MI. Personally, I was born in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and am an avid Green Bay Packers (football) fan. I moved to Mississippi two weeks before Hurricane Katrina, and that was my welcome to the South. Before psychology I was in communication and was a radio DJ in high school and college. I enjoy running and walking with my Labrador retriever, Voodoo.
