The document discusses different approaches to focusing in motivational interviewing. There are three potential sources of focus: the client, the setting or context, and the clinician's expertise. There are also three styles of focusing - directing, where the clinician determines focus; following, where the focus follows the client's agenda; and guiding, a collaborative approach between client and clinician. Focusing is a process that involves finding achievable goals to provide direction, and can take different forms depending on the various agendas involved.

Motivational interviewing
Why focus?
Prepared by :Sabir Abdulrahman

Focusing
The focusing process within MI is about finding that
direction and within it more specific achievable goals.
This naturally blends into evoking and planning to explore
specific ways for moving in that direction.
It involves navigating these often tricky waters to find
and maintain a clear direction.
If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get
you there. —LEWIS CARROLL

Three source of focus
With varying agenda present, there are different possible
sources from which to derive focus and direction.

The client
The most common source of direction is from the client him- or
herself,If the provider is comfortable and competent to provide the
help requested then there is a natural match of guide and traveler.
This does not mean that the journey is necessarily easy, only that
there is a shared beginning agreement about direction.

The setting
The direction of service can also be focused by the
setting itself. The agency is funded to address specific
issues and provide certain services.

Clinical expertise
A third potential source of focus is the clinician. Quite
commonly, people will seek services with one goal in
mind, and in the course of consultation the clinician
working with them

Three styles of focusing
With all of these agenda present from client, context,
and clinician, how do you identify a focus or direction?

Directing
In a directing approach, the provider determines the
focus, rooted in his or her own agenda or that of the
agency.
There are certainly circumstances in which a directing
style is appropriate in establishing a focus, but as a
default approach for promoting client change it has
serious limitations (Rollnick et al., 2008).

Following
In a following style of focusing you try to understand the
client’s agenda and do your best to allow the direction,
momentum, and content of the conversation to follow
accordingly
A following style can enhance engagement, which is itself
a therapeutic process.

Guiding
Guiding Midway between directing and following sits a
guiding style. Guiding promotes a collaborative search for
direction, a meeting of expertise in which the focus of
treatment is negotiated. The client’s agenda are
important, and any limitations inherent in the context are
taken into account. The clinician’s expertise is also a
possible source of goals. The focusing process of MI
commonly starts in this middle ground between directing
and following, where the focus, momentum, and content
are mutually forged

Conversation, not transaction
Focusing in motivational interviewing is not like buying
salt or seeing a doctor about an infected toe, where the
choices are few, the challenge is clear, and a transaction
takes place. Conversations about change are not like
this; the relationship is important, aspirations vary and
fluctuate, and choices are made about large and small
conversation streams that you could go down.

Key points
The process of focusing involves finding one or more specific
goals or intended outcomes that provide direction for
consultation.
Focus can arise from the client, the context, or the clinician.
The general counseling styles of directing, guiding, and
following also describe three approaches to focusing.
Sometimes there is a clear single focus, sometimes there are
several possible topics, and sometimes the focus is quite
unclear and exploration is needed.

Counseling involves a supportive relationship between a counselor and client to help the client address problems and facilitate healthy changes. The counselor provides empathy, respect and a framework for the client to explore emotions, behaviors and thinking patterns. Counseling aims to help clients understand themselves, make informed choices, and resolve issues through meaningful discussion in a non-directive way. It differs from guidance in focusing more on helping clients make changes, and from psychotherapy in viewing clients as capable of self-direction rather than mentally ill.

meaning and objectives of counselingRanjan Dhiman

��

Counseling aims to help clients understand themselves and make voluntary changes. The main objectives of counseling are to provide support to help clients achieve desired changes or make suitable choices. Specifically, counseling seeks to give students information to succeed, understand student problems, build understanding between students and teachers, help students solve difficulties, help students know themselves better, and inspire students toward attainment. The goals of counseling are to help individuals overcome immediate problems and equip them to handle future issues. Counseling goals can be immediate, long-term, or process-oriented. Common long-term goals include helping clients become self-actualized, self-realized, and fully functioning people through achieving immediate and process-oriented goals.

chapter10Issues in Theory and PracticeIntroductionEthical JinElias52

chapter 10 Issues in Theory and Practice Introduction Ethical practice requires a solid theoretical framework. Therapists’ theoretical positions and conceptual views influence how they practice. Ideally, theory helps practitioners make sense of what they hear in counseling sessions. In this chapter we address a variety of interrelated ethical issues, such as why a theory has both practical and ethical implications, the goals and techniques that are based on a theoretical orientation, the role of assessment and diagnosis in the therapeutic process, issues in psychological testing, and issues surrounding evidence-based practices (EBPs). Clinicians must be able to conceptualize what they are doing in their counseling sessions and why they are doing it. Sometimes practitioners have difficulty explaining why they use certain counseling interventions. When you first meet a new client, for example, what guidelines would you use in putting into a theoretical perspective what clients tell you? What do you want to accomplish in this initial session? Can you explain your theoretical understanding of how people change in a clear and straightforward way? Think about how your theoretical viewpoint influences your decisions on questions such as these: • What are your goals for counseling? • What techniques and interventions would you use to reach your goals? • What value do you place on evidence-based treatment techniques? • What is the role of assessment and diagnosis in the counseling process? • How do you make provisions for cultural diversity in your assessment and treatment plans? • Does the client’s presenting problem influence the specific assessments you choose to use? • How does your theoretical viewpoint influence the specific assessment mea- sures you choose to use with clients? • How flexible are you in your approach? • What connections do you see between theory and practice? • Do you consult with colleagues on matters pertaining to theory and practice? LO1 Developing a Counseling Style Theories of counseling are based on worldviews, each with its own values, biases, and assumptions of how best to bring about change in the therapeutic process. Contemporary theories tend to be oriented toward individual change and are grounded in values that emphasize choice, the uniqueness of the individual, self-assertion, and ego strength (see Chapter 4). Many of these assumptions are inappropriate for evaluating clients from cultures that focus on interdependence, de-emphasize individuality, and emphasize being in harmony with the universe. In some cultures, basic life values tend to be associated with a focus on inner experience and an acceptance of one’s environment. Within cultures that focus more on the social framework than on development of the individual, a traditional therapeutic model has limitations. In addition, it is not customary for many client populations to seek professional help, and they will typically turn first to informal system ...

Vestibular Disorders Vision Problems PresentationRachel Abbassi

��

The article "Vision Challenges with Vestibular Disorders" from the Vestibular Disorders Association (vestibular.org) explores how vestibular disorders can lead to various visual disturbances due to the close relationship between the vestibular and visual systems. A key component in this relationship is the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), which stabilizes vision during head movements. When the VOR is impaired, individuals may experience symptoms such as oscillopsia (a sensation of the visual field bouncing or jiggling), vertigo, double vision, and difficulty focusing. These visual issues often become apparent during activities involving head motion and may not be detected during standard eye examinations, as these are typically conducted with the head stationary. Consequently, patients are encouraged to consult specialists that can assess and address functional visual skills deficits, such as focusing, eye tracking, and eye teaming coordination, which may trigger or exacerbate vestibular symptoms. The article emphasizes that effective management of these vision challenges requires a comprehensive approach that considers both vestibular and visual system dysfunctions. By addressing these interconnected issues, patients can achieve better symptom control and improve their quality of life.

Gene therapy for neurological disorders focuses on correcting or compensating for faulty genes that cause conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. This innovative approach uses viral or non-viral vectors to deliver therapeutic genes directly into the nervous system, aiming to treat disorders such as Parkinson’s disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and certain forms of epilepsy. By targeting the root genetic causes, gene therapy has the potential to slow or even halt disease progression, restore lost functions, and improve quality of life. Recent breakthroughs, such as FDA-approved gene therapies for SMA, highlight its transformative potential in neurology. Dr Aliya Shair Muhammad DPT OMPT (IIRS) BUMHS , Quetta

Why focus .pptx

1. Motivational interviewing Why focus? Prepared by :Sabir Abdulrahman

2. Focusing The focusing process within MI is about finding that direction and within it more specific achievable goals. This naturally blends into evoking and planning to explore specific ways for moving in that direction. It involves navigating these often tricky waters to find and maintain a clear direction. If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. —LEWIS CARROLL

3. Three source of focus With varying agenda present, there are different possible sources from which to derive focus and direction.

4. The client The most common source of direction is from the client him- or herself,If the provider is comfortable and competent to provide the help requested then there is a natural match of guide and traveler. This does not mean that the journey is necessarily easy, only that there is a shared beginning agreement about direction.

5. The setting The direction of service can also be focused by the setting itself. The agency is funded to address specific issues and provide certain services.

6. Clinical expertise A third potential source of focus is the clinician. Quite commonly, people will seek services with one goal in mind, and in the course of consultation the clinician working with them

7. Three styles of focusing With all of these agenda present from client, context, and clinician, how do you identify a focus or direction?

8. Directing In a directing approach, the provider determines the focus, rooted in his or her own agenda or that of the agency. There are certainly circumstances in which a directing style is appropriate in establishing a focus, but as a default approach for promoting client change it has serious limitations (Rollnick et al., 2008).

9. Following In a following style of focusing you try to understand the client’s agenda and do your best to allow the direction, momentum, and content of the conversation to follow accordingly A following style can enhance engagement, which is itself a therapeutic process.

10. Guiding Guiding Midway between directing and following sits a guiding style. Guiding promotes a collaborative search for direction, a meeting of expertise in which the focus of treatment is negotiated. The client’s agenda are important, and any limitations inherent in the context are taken into account. The clinician’s expertise is also a possible source of goals. The focusing process of MI commonly starts in this middle ground between directing and following, where the focus, momentum, and content are mutually forged

11. Conversation, not transaction Focusing in motivational interviewing is not like buying salt or seeing a doctor about an infected toe, where the choices are few, the challenge is clear, and a transaction takes place. Conversations about change are not like this; the relationship is important, aspirations vary and fluctuate, and choices are made about large and small conversation streams that you could go down.

12. Key points The process of focusing involves finding one or more specific goals or intended outcomes that provide direction for consultation. Focus can arise from the client, the context, or the clinician. The general counseling styles of directing, guiding, and following also describe three approaches to focusing. Sometimes there is a clear single focus, sometimes there are several possible topics, and sometimes the focus is quite unclear and exploration is needed.

13. The end “Thank you .”
