What do you usually do with your unmotivated clients? Discharge them? View them as resistant and work with them accordingly? Hope your supervisor got some ideas?
What do you do if you’re a supervisor and are at a loss?
The fact of the matter is that we could always do with some new ideas and tips on how to approach our most difficult clients.
Our recent delegate debate on motivational techniques produced some fascinating discussions about the topic and I would like to share them with you. Please read the comments to this post and feel free to contribute to this discussion by commenting yourself.
The issue of motivation is extremely interesting and multi-dimensional - that is why our training courses on Motivational Interviewing are always very engaging and lively. They are currently run in Manchester and London and until tomorrow you can book them with 30% discount. If you would like to learn more about this training follow the link:

Take care

How group work can help
A recent study, funded by the MS Society, found that many people with MS have problems with depression and anxiety. Previous studies have suggested that depression in MS can lead to patients failing to take their medication and a reduced quality of life.
But there is hope as researchers found that MS sufferers who attended group sessions had fewer problems with anxiety and depression and the impact of the disease on their daily lives was reduced.
The researchers also found that costs were reduced by £470 per patient for those who attended the therapy sessions compared with usual care. It was shown to almost halve the cost of visits to the GP, falling from £11,340 at the start of the study to just £5,832 at the eight month follow up. The costs of outpatient hospital visits were also slashed from £32,592 at the beginning of the study to £21,534 at the eight-month follow-up.
