Motivational Interviewing Role-Play - Precontemplation Stage - Weight Loss

This video features a counseling role-play in which motivational interviewing is used to treat a client who is in the precontemplation stage of change. The client is struggling with weight gain.

This is hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing over the "skittles". She played her role well!

Using this to prep for my OSCE, thanks!

I would love to see the progression of this case.. would helping to overcome the conflict with food alleviate the resistance? If the resistance remains she may find something else to struggle with... like sleeping.. or something.. it was funny to see a serious discussion about candies :)
Also, i appeciate very much the opportunity to see how to remain positive and cooperative with a resisting client.. that was very explicit and easy to catch
I admire the acting, that lady must know her craft well.. like all the other acting clients.. they just seem so real

Talking about weight loss with a person with a normal BMI is irrelevant. Why not address the problem of the binge eating ? In this video the person appears to be more in the contemplation stage than in precontemplation (where insight and awareness of the problem are absent). No precision on techniques (reflection, echo, summary, ...) is given. In the end, in my opinion, it is a bad motivational interview, everything is very approximate.
