Past Workshop

Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) Coding for Self-Evaluation

Denise Ernst, Ph.D. & Theresa Moyers, Ph.D.

In this 2-day workshop you will learn:

  • How to use the global ratings to evaluate the relational and technical elements of MI
  • How to identify specific behaviors that are desirable and discouraged in MI
  • Strategies for providing feedback from the MITI for self-evaluation and evaluation of other MI learners.
  • Methods for establishing, evaluating and maintaining reliability in MITI coding for your practice.

Target Audience

This workshop is appropriate for novice coders (those who have no experience using the MITI) and those who are interested in using the MITI for self-evaluation and continued development of their own MI skills.

Purpose of the Workshop

This workshop will focus on the newest revision of the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity Code (MITI 4.2.1). Participants will learn to evaluate segments of MI practice using both global measures and specific behavior counts. The training will cover all aspects of the coding system, with special attention given to using coding as a basis for providing feedback and coaching to others, as well as facilitating self-evaluation and development of one’s own skills.
