"As therapists, we need a strong, connected therapeutic alliance with our clients to make progress. Yet, given our field's tendency to train us to advise, direct, prescribe, or otherwise take the lead, this alliance--and our clients' sense of autonomy and agency--can be compromised. In this excellent new video, Motivational Interviewing expert Cathy Cole offers practical tools to help you support and empower adolescents dealing with health concerns, in the spirit of attunement and partnership. You'll watch Cole and her colleague apply MI to four engaging sessions with teenage clients, and you'll learn strategies for applying these skills in your own practice. Cole begins with an overview of MI's key principles. You'll learn about the "MI Spirit"; the open-ended questions, affirmations, reflections, and summaries (otherwise known as OARS) that comprise MI's skill set; the four MI processes of engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning; change talk and sustain talk; and "the righting reflex." In sessions with Sean, Carlotta, Olga, and Missy, you'll observe how to use MI to manage risk, communicate nonjudgment, deepen rapport, and draw out your clients' innate strengths. This video also offers realistic commentary, in which Cole discusses both the successes and the challenges of each session and then discusses how to work with your own "righting reflex" to clinical benefit. This video is an necessary resource for clinicians who want proven strategies for using Motivational Interviewing with teens, health issues, or even the general population. By watching this video, you will: Understand the key tenets of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its application to adolescent health behavior. Learn how to engage and empower clients using a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach. Gain helpful tools for working with your own urges to advise or "fix" a client." - Supplied by publisher.

"Motivational Interviewing's collaborative style and success with addiction treatment--especially compared to more conventional methods that emphasize confrontation, or at least directiveness--has made it a preferred approach in a range of helping professions. Even when the client is mandated (or, perhaps, especially when they are), we need a solid therapeutic alliance to make real progress. How do you move therapy forward when your client feels resistant to even being in the room? What if the client is a teen, and their presenting problems include substance use? In this new video, MI expert Sebastian Kaplan offers practical tools to help you manage challenging sessions with adolescent clients experiencing substance use--both issues related and seemingly unrelated to it. Here, you'll gain strategies for applying these skills in your own practice, and discover how MI can help you resist the understandable urge to advise or "fix" your clients. Kaplan outlines the key principles of MI, known as the "MI Spirit," and details each component alongside case vignettes. Covering OARS skills, the four MI processes, change and sustain talk, and "the righting reflex," Kaplan describes the method's collaborative, client-engaging nature. Then, four annotated sessions follow in which Kaplan and fellow MI trainer Ali Hall work with several teen clients. You'll see the method in action as the aforementioned skills are applied, with the result of deepening the working alliance, providing MI-compliant feedback, and evoking change talk. This video is invaluable for clinicians who want a primer on MI, effective strategies for adolescent therapy, or interventions for addiction and recovery. Be sure to take a look. By watching this video, you will: Get an overview of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its application to adolescent substance use. Learn MI skills that support the therapeutic alliance and allow for client resistance. Discover helpful tools for working with your own internal responses to a client." - Supplied by publisher.

"Motivational Interviewing's accessible style and success with addictions treatment has made it a preferred approach in a range of helping professions. For therapists, MI has grown as a method used for not just addiction, but for the breadth of clinical scenarios in which resistance is a significant factor. When resistance goes unseen or unaddressed, clients feel misunderstood and may leave, given the option. Even if the client is mandated--such as in correctional facilities, court cases, or as in this video, within the walls of a middle school--we need a solid, connected therapeutic alliance to get anywhere. Here, Motivational Interviewing expert Sebastian Kaplan offers practical tools to help you move forward with adolescents and their families. You'll watch Kaplan apply MI to four challenging sessions with adolescent clients, individually and with their parents, and you'll learn strategies for applying these skills in your own practice. What's more, you'll learn how MI can help you resist the urge to "fix" your clients. To start, Kaplan outlines the key principles of MI, known as the "MI Spirit," and details each component alongside case vignettes. Covering the four MI processes, change talk and sustain talk, and "the righting reflex," Kaplan illustrates the method's collaborative, client-engaging nature. With 13-year-old Marley, her parents, and 13-year-old Katie, Kaplan demonstrates how to use MI to manage risk, communicate nonjudgment, deepen rapport, and draw out his clients' innate strengths. This video also offers realistic commentary, in which Kaplan openly discusses his frustrations in session and then shows how to work with them to clinical benefit. This video is an excellent resource for clinicians who want useful strategies for Motivational Interviewing, adolescent therapy, or family-based interventions. By watching this video, you will: Get an overview of Motivational Interviewing (MI) and its application to adolescents. Learn how to bring parents into the clinical picture from an MI standpoint. Discover helpful tools for working with your own internal responses to a client." - Supplied by publisher.

"In this presentation, Barb covers various stages of growth and development from the six- to the 18-year-old. It includes a helpful discussion of the "teen-age" brain, which undergoes a major transformation between the ages of 13 and twenty-five. A conversation about mirror neurons helps explain why a kid who bullies becomes an adult who bullies and is most likely to have been raised by a person who bullied, why child abusers beget child abusers, and the theory that autistic children have "broken" mirrors. In addition, she covers the assessment of various clinical conditions that school nurses may encounter—sore throats, abdominal pain, head injuries, signs and symptoms of child abuse, kids with celiac disease, mono, respiratory conditions including the common causes of cough in kids, evaluating the child with asthma, pneumonia, allergic rhinitis, abdominal pain, hypo and hyperglycemia, allergic reactions, and recognizing partial complex seizures (the most common seizure disorder in the world, and the least diagnosed). Barb will also discuss normal vital signs—weight, BP, pulses and respirations and various conditions that change the normal parameters." -- Barb Bancroft website.
