Integrated primary care and Motivational Interviewing
Daniel Mullin explores why Motivational Interviewing fits particularly well within integrated primary care. He discusses access, coordination, continuity and comprehensiveness, and considers how MI can provide a shared communication approach for medical and behavioural health practitioners working together.
The episode also examines empathy, high-risk conversations and allowing patients to teach practitioners what matters to them. These themes connect with Motivational Interviewing in Healthcare, Reflective Listening and Partnership.

How can Motivational Interviewing work in a busy community clinic? In this episode of Talking to Change, Dr Takeshi Shimada joins Glenn and Sebastian to explore brief healthcare consultations, the value of slowing down and the influence of Japanese culture on MI practice.
In Episode 97 of Talking to Change: A Motivational Interviewing Podcast, Glenn Hinds and Sebastian Kaplan welcome Douglas C. Smith, Ph.D., LCSW, to discuss Motivational Interviewing with families. The conversation explores what changes when MI moves beyond a single client and a single target behaviour, including working with change talk across family members, balancing autonomy and practitioner direction, and avoiding what Doug describes as the “superfluous engagement trap”.
