After reading this week's Van Wormer (2007) article and pages 278-283 in our text and watching the counseling videos,

1. please explain the strengths and weaknesses of using motivational interviewing in treating clients that are abusing substances.
2. . Below are few of the key-concepts from this approach that I gathered as I read the article and watched the video. What other components would you add to this list?

• Assess stage of change
• Roll with the resistance
• Increase self-efficacy
• Create internal desire to change
• Build on strengths and acknowledge previous positive actions
