GENERAL PRINCIPLESGENERAL PRINCIPLES1. Express Empathy2. Develop Discrepancy3. Roll with Resistance4. Support Self-Efficacy

Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com

Express EmpathyExpress Empathy

Acceptance facilitates change

Skillful reflective listening is fundamental

Ambivalence is normal

Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com

Develop DiscrepancyDevelop Discrepancy The client, rather than the

officer should present the arguments for change.

Change is motivated by a perceived discrepancy between present behavior and important personal goals or values.

Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com

Roll with ResistanceRoll with Resistance

Avoid arguing for change.Resistance is not directly opposed.New perspectives are invited, but

not imposed.The client is the primary resource

in finding answers and solutions.Resistance is a signal to respond

differently.

Terrence D. Walton Terrencewalton@aol.com

Support Self-EfficacySupport Self-Efficacy

A person’s belief in the possibility of change is an important motivator.

The client, not the officer, is responsible for choosing and carrying out change.

The officer’s own belief in the person’s ability to change becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
