Discussion Thread: Application Using Motivational Interviewing Concepts

As you are working toward wrapping up your Addictions

Case Study: Treatment Plan Assignment, this module's discussion will be less "strenuous" than some in the previous weeks. For this one, I want you to try and envision yourself being "Marci's" counselor, and first, write a good paragraph regarding (please make sure to include each bulleted question with your answer for clarity):

• In general, would Motivational Interviewing be a good practice for her? Need Assignment Help?
• If yes, give two or three examples from the narrative of why it would be helpful.
• If not, give two or three examples from the narrative of why it might not work with her.

Second, write a good "change plan" (review chapter 7) that you could share with Marci. Include in your change plan at least two Scripture verses that could be motivational for her, based on her narrative.

Finally, in a good paragraph, discuss the following:

• Of the various treatment approaches, which have been the most beneficial to the field of addiction and individuals with addictions and why?
• Which treatment approaches have been the most detrimental to the field of addiction and individuals with addictions, and why?
• Which treatment approaches in your opinion most closely align with a Christian worldview, and in what ways (name at least two, with Scripture support)?

Note that the information in the course to help you answer the "treatment approaches" questions found in each chapter of the Hart &Ksir textbook concerning individual substances (labeled: "Focus on Treatment"), and Dr. Jenkins references a good article in his presentation: "Treatment of Addictive Disorders."  You can also use the internet to do your own research regarding best and worst practices in addictions treatment.
