Intermediate

The aim of the workshop is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of MI. One will learn the fundamental spirit and principles of MI, the language of change, as well as the core counselling skills of the approach. MI is a skill that takes practice to learn. The simplicity of the approach is often confused with being easy to learn.  Research has indicated that MI is a skill best learned through observed practice and feedback.

The Special Guest of our conference is Prof. William Miller, the creator of the Motivating Dialogue, a tireless promoter of humanistic work with another human being, one of the most cited scientists in the world.

The patronage over the conference was taken by the Polish Society of Motivational Therapy.
