TL;DR: Motivational interviewing (MI) is a clinical method for helping people to resolve ambivalence about change by evoking intrinsic motivation and commitment as discussed by the authors, and it has been shown to be effective in many clinical settings.
Abstract: Motivational interviewing (MI) is a clinical method for helping people to resolve ambivalence about change by evoking intrinsic motivation and commitment. Based on our research and experience in providing training on MI, practitioners acquire expertise in this method through a sequence of eight stages: (1) openness to collaboration with clients' own expertise, (2) proficiency in client-centered counseling, including accurate empathy, (3) recognition of key aspects of client speech that guide the practice of MI, (4) eliciting and strengthening client change talk, (5) rolling with resistance, (6) negotiating change plans, (7) consolidating client commitment, and (8) switching flexibly between MI and other intervention styles. These key skills are acquired roughly in order, with earlier steps representing logical prerequisites for later stages of skill acquisition.

Abstract: Professional counselors and counseling psychologists have much to offer in treating substance use disorders (SUDs). Yet, research consistently demonstrates that students are not receiving adequate training in SUDs. This study describes the current state of training counseling and counseling psychology students in SUDs. Results are consistent with previous studies. Implications for training and practice are provided.

TL;DR: This article evaluated the cross-cultural transportability of motivational interviewing (MI), an evidence-based addiction treatment method, and found that post-training gains in MI proficiency were at least as large as those found earlier with predominantly non-Hispanic White providers.
Abstract: This study evaluated the cross-cultural transportability of motivational interviewing (MI), an evidence-based addiction treatment method. Free clinical training in MI was offered in separate targeted workshops for 86 African American, Native American, and Spanish-speaking addiction treatment providers. Audiotaped pre- and posttraining clinical work samples were coded for indexes of MI competence. In all 3 samples, posttraining gains in MI proficiency were at least as large as those found earlier with predominantly non-Hispanic White providers. Combined with evidence for the efficacy of MI in minority populations, these findings support the cross-cultural applicability of MI.

TL;DR: Factors that result in disparities in substance abuse treatment for D/deaf and hard of hearing clients including approaches, accessibility and adapted materials are reviewed.
Abstract: Current research indicates that D/deaf and hard of hearing clients seeking treatment for substance abuse often encounter obstacles in receiving the help they need. Many of these obstacles are the result of a lack of knowledge and experience with regard to treating D/deaf and hard of hearing people. Programs designed for hearing people that attempt to serve those with a hearing loss often do more harm than good. Even the identification of D/deaf or hard of hearing individuals with substance abuse problems is ineffective. This article reviews factors that result in disparities in substance abuse treatment for this population including approaches, accessibility and adapted materials.

TL;DR: Examination of the perceived need for CACREP-accredited counselor education programs to formalize curriculum standards for substance abuse counseling courses suggested that providing educational preparation for students aspiring to be substance abuse counselors should be implemented.
Abstract: The present study examined the perceived need for CACREP-accredited counselor education programs to formalize curriculum standards for substance abuse counseling courses. The participants were university professors who are CACREP liaisons for currently accredited counselor education programs. A survey was conducted using questions constructed from a review of literature and subsequent feedback from counselor educators with substance abuse counseling and CACREP expertise. Results suggested that providing educational preparation for students aspiring to be substance abuse counselors should be implemented. More than half of those surveyed (56.6%) indicated that the establishment of such curriculum standards by CACREP is “important” (23.3%), “very important” (14.4%), or “extremely important” (18.9%).
