6. Spirit of MI Partnership Acceptance Compassion Evocation

7. The Spirit of Motivational Interviewing (MI) Therapeutic relationship is a collaborative partnership, rather than separate ‘expert’ & ‘recipient’ roles. Motivation for change is elicited from the client, not imposed. It is the client’s task, not the counselor’s, to articulate and resolve his or her ambivalence. The counseling style is an eliciting one. Direct persuasion is infrequently effective in resolving ambivalence. Instead, the counselor supports a client’s autonomy while helping to explore the prospect of change.
