Motivational Interviewing and Social Justice
Open accessAbstract
This address explores the relationship between motivational interviewing (MI) and six broad humane values: compassion, respect, fairness, human potential, prizing of differences, and collaboration. These values are implicit in the spirit and practice of MI, and have implications far beyond professional practice.

The ‘Humane Values and Motivational Interviewing’ section describes MI as a collaborative partnership that respects autonomy and evokes clients’ strengths and motivation. It does not describe PNE, requesting consent before providing information, or the ‘elicit-provide-elicit’ process; those specific practices are not supported by this source. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe guiding style of communication of MI draws out the person's own reasons for change and pre-existing internal strengths for change.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
