Motivational Interviewing & health behaviour change

What are the core elements of motivational interviewing? What relevance has it to the practising clinician? How can it be used to effect behaviour change? How can we transfer these skills to the pain clinic? What is the evidence to support MI? These and other questions are addressed by Dr David Craig, Consultant Clinical Psychologist in his lecture to the West of Scotland Pain Group.
