Splitting Hairs or Parsing Concepts, Fuzzy Thinking or Fuzzy Categories: Where Does Motivational Interviewing End and Client-centered Therapy Begin?
Rosengren, David B.
motivational interviewing, client-centered therapy, definitions, fuzzy logic
An increasingly robust debate is emerging about the role of equanimity, equipoise and equality of concepts in defining what constitutes motivational interviewing (MI) versus client-centered therapy. At the heart of this debate is whether a MI practitioner may remain neutral about a goal and still be practicing MI. After that point of agreement, the debate becomes increasingly complex and defuse. However, MI has never included in its definition that the clinician identifies a specific behavioral goal. Nor is this articulated in any of the principles. Instead, it seems to be an ad hoc explanation of what does and does not constitute MI practice in an effort to establish the boundaries of MI. It is clear that a lack of data and only a nascent theory of how MI works contribute to this problem, but it may also be issues of fuzzy thinking and fuzzy categories. An exploration of these areas suggests it is possible that a practitioner could be practicing MI and not have a specific behavioral goal, other than assisting the client in resolving ambivalence.

Research on MI in Equipoise: The Case of Living Organ Donation
Zuckoff, Allan
Dew, Mary Amanda
motivational interviewing, equipoise, organ donation
Residual ambivalence prior to live organ donation has been shown to predict worse physical and psychological outcomes for the donor following surgery. We are studying whether MI can help individuals who have agreed to become living organ donors to resolve residual ambivalence about their decision. In this situation, ethical practice demands that the counselor take up a stance of equipoise, equally welcoming of strengthened resolve to donate or a decision not to do so. This paper describes our adaptations of MI for this unique applicatio

Client-centered Direction: Or How to Get There When You’re Not Sure Where You’re Going
Wagner, Christopher C.
motivational interviewing, client-centered, direction, collaboration, provider aspiration, therapeutic focus
Change is broader than behavior, and often starts before a goal or plan is conceived, with clients first opening up to the vague possibility of betterness. Collaboration is a hallmark of MI spirit, and therapeutic direction can be developed collaboratively in MI through the process of evokingclient values, desires, needs, hopes, and goals. Counselors may initially aspire to help clients find better lives, and narrow the focus to discrete change goals when specific client behaviors are collaboratively identified as obstacles to achieving a better life, or when absence of behaviors is identified as inhibiting progress toward it

Equipoise and Equanimity in Motivational Interviewing
Miller, William R.
decisional balance, equanimity, equipoise, neutrality
The spirit of MI bespeaks a kind of equanimity as a general characteristic of MI practice. This desirable counselor quality is quite distinct from the conscious choice of counselor aspiration: whether to strategically move toward a particular change target, or to intentionally maintain neutrality withregard to change goal (the latter being referred to as equipoise). Both choices would involve equanimity, and both require intentional, conscious and skillful attention to the interpersonal dynamics of change talk that have been elucidated through the development of and research on MI.
