Transcripts of MI Videos
The following segments are from the CASAA 1998 MI Video Series. Some were transcribed by CASAA and some were transcribed by Deborah Van Horn. Reading transcripts and/or watching skilled clinicians practicing MI can be an excellent way of learning the skills and for supervisors to assist their staff in seeing the MI approach at work.
The first two demonstrations (“Jim the Rounder” and “Ponytail John” contain both uncoded transcripts as well as coded versions using the MITI (Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity) rating system.
"Jim the Rounder" - initial interview with a client referred after a drinking and driving charge
"Ponytail John" - initial interview with a client referred after a positive drug screen at work
