Podcast 1: Using Motivational Interviewing in Smoking Cessation Counseling
For a habitual smoker to successfully quit, the desire must come from the individual and not an outside source. Motivational interviewing is a patient-centered form counseling designed to help people explore and resolve their ambivalence about behavior change. Michele Faulkner, an academic pharmacist whose practice focuses on neurology, will explain how this method can be applied in smoking cessation efforts.
Michele Faulkner, PharmD, is a Professor in the School of Pharmacy and Health Professions, and in the School of Medicine within the Department of Neurology at Creighton University. She has published in the area of smoking cessation, and teaches in a Communication Skills course where students learn counseling techniques designed to optimize patient outcomes.
