The importance of motivation in treating alcohol use disorders and substance use disorders cannot be overstated. Chapter 14 notes the impact of motivation on alcohol use disorders and discusses Prochaska and DiClemente’s Stages of Change Model (2005) and Miller and Rollnick’s Motivational Interviewing Model (2002) as theoretical frameworks for working with this disorder. After viewing the 2 videos on treating alcohol use disorders and substance use disorders, discuss the patient’s motivation level for change that you observe in both videos, noting the particular stage of change as described in Prochaska and DiClemente’s model (Precontemplation, Contemplation, etc.) that they are in. Further describe any techniques that you observe the therapist using as outlined by Miller and Rollnick in their FRAMES elements of therapeutic techniques (Feedback, Responsibility, etc). Finally, describe any differences you note between the treatment in the videos and the treatments outlined in the textbook chapters for these disorders.
