Are you finding yourself facing the end of your Pre-practicum and worried about the theory questioned posed to you in your practicum interview? Or, wondering how to familiarize yourself with Social Work theory to prepare for your upcoming licensure exam. The key to theories is to repeat your exposure to them. Listen to the following podcasts and then post a 150 word reaction to the DB. Is there a theory that resonates with you over the others? Did you learn about a new theory, or is there one you had forgotten about?

Below is an example video of Motivational Interviewing in a group setting. There were not many examples to choose from in my research, but this one highlights a tobacco cessation group. In the video, you will see an MI strategy called OARS.

- Open-ended Questions
- Personal Affirmations
- Listen & Engage in Reflections

This MI Strategies Cheat sheet (mi_strategies_cheat_sheet.pdf ) can also assist you in identifying the OARS for the MI interview in this assignment.
1) Review the Video – Review the mock video of a Social Worker conducting an MI session with a client. Although this is a session with only one client, watch the video and take notes so you can identify the MI strategies the social worker used not only as outlined from the Cheat Sheet but also from the information listed in the text. You will need to reflect on BOTH for your response.
