Kathleen Sciacca was interviewed on video for the Primary Care Clinician web site. The video clips excerpted from this interview include a broad range of motivational interviewing core skills, strategies, spirit, and techniques. Discussion evolves around the application of MI in primary health care settings and includes pertinent physical health examples. The Motivational Interviewing processes and interventions discussed are applicable to many areas of behavior change.

This is the first MI video training series especially designed for clinicians who serve individuals at risk of, or affected by, chronic diseases. Whether you are serving in a wellness, disease management, or care management program—or a primary or specialty care setting, hospital or community program—this series will help you build the practical MI knowledge and skills you need to support your patient health and address the behavioral factors that are responsible for over 85% of avoidable health care costs.
