Question

Motivational interviewing is designed to explore and resolve the ambivalence people naturally feel about a lifestyle change

Answer 1

Answer:

A- True

Explanation:

Motivational Interviewing  is a technique in helping clients find the motivation to make positive decisions.

This technique facilitates exploration of conflicts that could come up at different stages of the process that could cause a hindrance to progress.

For example, in the case of narcotic abuse, persons affected are usually aware of the dangers of their behavior but continue to use substances anyway. They may have the will to stop but may not want to at the same time. They realize the need to enroll in a recovery programme but see their condition as not being serious. These opposing feelings are known as ambivalence, and they are natural, regardless of the client's state of readiness. Acceptance of the patient's ambivalence is an important part of the recovery process and it could be a cause of lack of motivation in the patient during the recovery process.
