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:

I hope you will find this post an interesting read and look forward to continuing this discussion with you at one of our training courses.
Take care
Paul

Major Depression and Negative Mindset
A recent study has found further evidence that people suffering with Major Depression are stuck in a negative mindset, and re-live their negative experiences again and again in their mind.
In the study 26 people with depression and 27 people who had never had depression were sat in front of a computer and shown three words, one at a time. They were told to remember the words either in the order they were presented or in reverse order. The computer then presented one of the three words and they were supposed to respond as quickly as they could whether that word was first, second, or third in the list.
People with depression had trouble re-ordering the words in their head; if they were asked to remember the words in reverse order, they took longer to give the correct answer. They had a particularly hard time if the three words had negative meanings, like "death" or "sadness."
But therapy techniques such as motivational interviewing, brief solution focused therapy or positive therapy could prove to be very useful at helping clients change their mindset and thinking and allow them to move on with their lives, which they may not be able to do without guidance.
All of these psychological skills are available from the Skills Development Service:
Motivational Interviewing
Brief Solution Focused Therapy
Positive Therapy
Interested in all these courses? Then why not go for our certificate in Resource Based Therapy course.

Psychotherapy DVDs are also offering an 8 Disk CBT Training Package, offering 14 CPD hours: Essential CBT Skills Series - 8 DVDs Set - 14 CPD Hours

Why is prescribing still rising?
Now here’s an interesting question (or two) for you:
Do you believe that offering more “talking therapy” on the NHS should increase or decrease the amount of psychotropic drugs prescribed in the UK?
Do you think that an increase of 3600 therapists would produce greater or lesser use of Prozac in the UK?
Before you wonder if this is a trick question, it isn’t designed to be. It has been a long standing assumption that the reason most long term prescribing occurs is because of the absence of alternatives. Before any of you object and say that the use of both is current “good practice”, Id point out that one of the key arguments for introducing IAPT (Increasing Access To Psychological Therapies) was that depression could be treated for around £800 per person through therapy, rather than the more costly use of anti-depressants.
Why am I raising this? Simply because data that has just been released that demonstrates that there has been a rise of 46% in the number of antidepressants that have been prescribed between 2006 and 2010. Please note the size of the increase – 46%! In other words we are not just talking an increase here, but an increase of a half over just four years – a period that maps exactly onto the training and introduction of 3600 new therapists.
SDS is currently running its BPS Approved Certificate in Resource Based Therapies in London, Leeds and Birmingham
http://www.skillsdevelopment.co.uk/rbt.html
It would appear that such an introduction hasn’t even TOUCHED such prescribing. In fact a cynic might even wonder if the two might be linked in some way. The Guardian states that the increase is due to the recession. However, even a cursory glance at the data indicates that the overall trend both predates the recession by 2 years and that the overall trend has not been effected by the onset of the recession, possibly because unemployment level increases have been (relatively) low (so far) in comparison with earlier recessions in the 1990s and 1980s.
Maybe this is the reason why the pharmaceutical industry never complained about the introduction of IAPT, with a total investment of towards £700 million - the biggest financial investment in the training of professionals in behaviour and emotion change skills, in history. Maybe they knew something all along that we didn’t! In fact, although I was as excited as anyone with the introduction of IAPT, I always had doubts as to whether it would achieve what it claimed to. Leaving aside questions of whether you can translate costings from treatment in a research setting to the costs in the general community, it always struck me that bigger issues were stacked up against it.

http://www.skillsdevelopment.co.uk/rbt.html
There is a bigger problem that we face in attempting to help people who are distressed or need to change their behaviour. This problem is the “pathologisation” of behaviour and normal emotional states in our society. The biggest, but not the only, cause of this is the increasing classification and extension of medical diagnosis to a growing range of normal experiences. Shyness becomes “Social Anxiety”, worrying becomes “Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)” and unhappiness becomes “Depression”. This means that increasingly large sections of the population are seen as “suffering” from a “condition” or mental “health” problem, which we know requires “treatment” in a “medical “ (or quasi-medical) setting. Equally, it is worth pointing out that there has never been a single diagnosis in history that has not had a pharmaceutical answer identified for it. The increase in diagnostic categories has also been accompanied by the increasing widening of their use – whether we are talking about the term “depression” or “PTSD”. Physical diagnoses have largely not been extended but their associated social categorisation has been. Hence the term “disability” is used to cover a considerably wider range of behaviours and conditions today that was the case 20 years ago for instance.
I don’t want to suggest there have been no benefits whatsoever from this change. However, the price we pay psychologically, socially and financially is an increasing tendency for us to view ourselves as “pathological” in some medical or quasi medical way. With this in mind, a "medicine" seems like a very logical next step … or at the very least a useful adjunct to other forms of help.
This issue of “pathologisation” crops up continually here at The Skills Development Service.
My colleagues and I attempt to address it with our clients and through our training on an almost continuous basis. Indeed, I genuinely think that the time is ripe for promoting an alternative way of conceptualising our work with our clients. A new way of helping us and a new way to conceptualise what we are trying to do. Our focus on “Resource Based Therapies” is designed to revolutionise the way we think and work with clients, to focus on their strengths, what causes them to thrive and what they would like to be doing as an alternative to having their current problem.
SDS is currently running its BPS Approved Certificate in Resource Based Therapies in London, Leeds and Birmingham
http://www.skillsdevelopment.co.uk/rbt.html
Come and join us and have your thinking challenged about the way you are working at present. Most importantly, have your passion for your work reinvigorated. Over the coming weeks I will be highlighting a number of key elements of what an alternative looks like and how it can revolutionise your work with clients. Speak with you again soon.

CERTIFICATE IN RESOURCE BASED THERAPIES - FAQ
As you know in the autumn we are running our first 4 days course “CERTIFICATE IN RESOURCE BASED THERAPIES” approved by BPS Learning Centre for CPD. http://www.skillsdevelopment.co.uk/seminars.php?courseid=76The course generates a lot of interest as it is a fresh and innovative approach to complex cases that builds on training courses that you have already attended with us in the past. We asked Paul Grantham to answer some of the questions about this course that frequently raised in your e-mails. That what he said:
Q1: SDS has just introduced a new training course – A Certificate in Resource Based Therapies. What is this course about and how is it different to everything you’ve been doing before?
PG: We thought it was time to bring together different strands from the training we have been providing over the last couple of years and develop a new course around them. The course is modular and based on three separate evidence based therapeutic approaches – Positive Psychology, Brief Solution Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. The course is run over a four day period which can be worked through as a whole block or in a modular manner. The certificated course has also just been approved by The British Psychological Society Learning Centre and is accompanied by an optional assessed examination.
Q2: Why do you think there is a need for such a course if it is based on variety of therapeutic approaches that already exist? What are the advantages in bringing them together?
PG: The simple answer to this is that there is considerable overlap and shared theoretical underpinnings to the three approaches. Firstly, they are all evidence based, in other words there are good psychological experimental underpinnings to the theories, process and interventions. The need to demonstrate a strong evidence base to any psychotherapeutic approach is not going to go away and it is rightly a key touchstone for any therapy we might be using. However, CBT does not have a monopoly on psychotherapeutic effectiveness and these approaches happily live along side it. Secondly, all three approaches are resource based in assumption, in other words they focus on what the client already has which enables them to thrive, and looks at how to amplify it. Motivational Interviewing draws strongly on Roger's ideas regarding clients' intrinsic motivation and has placed client perceptions of benefits and negative consequences at the centre of its approach. Brief Solution, of course , lives by the mantra of "There's nothing wrong with you that what's right with you, couldn't fix" and Positive Psychology's focus on Strengths via the VIA again focuses on clients’ existing resources. Thirdly, as a result of the above, all three are outcome, thriving and future focused rather than causal, deficit and past focused. And this is still a relatively rare common feature in most psychotherapeutic approaches. Finally, all three utilise brief and practical interventions to facilitate change.
…
Q6: On the practical side of things – four day courses might be quite expensive – are there ways to budget for this course without spending much straightaway?
PG: This course is modular. Hence although you can sign up for all four modules at once (and there is a fee reduction if you do this), you can sign up for individual modules as well. This allows delegates to spread the cost according to their budget. This, combined with the typically low fees that SDS charges in comparison with many other training providers makes this one of the most financially accessible psychotherapy courses currently available.
