In sharp contrast, the Motivational Phone Call Technique is a manualized 15 to 20 minute, 7-question script that uses strength-based questions to quickly build rapport between the therapist and client before the first session. Using this technique, parents and children will experience what is called a “soft start-up” and enter trauma treatment with higher show rates and greater readiness to change. Join Scott Sells, PhD, from the Family Trauma Institute, in this cutting-edge webinar as he teaches participants the techniques of “stick and move” and “closing statements” to enhance the MI telephone call.
