Document Summary
At the age of 13-14 years old, your body wants to stay up later. But schools require you to wake up at ~6 am. This has both physical and psychological consequences. Most of us respond to that by sleeping in very late on weekends - but this contributes to the problem by throwing off the whole cyclical pattern. Using motivational interviewing to work with teenagers so they can see that it"s a problem and so they can make gradual changes to address the problem. Motivational interviewing assumes that you"re resisting to change. Founders: dr. william miller & dr. stephen rollnick (1991) Patient-centered, directive counseling style that builds on intrinsic motivation to facilitate change in health-related behaviours. Guide patient in a certain direction in a very subtle way. This treatment approach was specifically designed for alcoholism and addiction. When we"re trying to change a problem, it"s never interesting or enjoyable - qualities of an intrinsically motivating task.
