27. Please review the original and current MI principles.

However, the principles of MI have evolved since the onset of these principles over two decades ago. Recent discussions of the MI principles utilize the acronym RULE (Rollnick, 2010), which stands for: Resisting the righting reflex—Clinicians cannot make right what is going wrong in the client’s life; Understanding the client’s own motivations—For any behavioral change to work, the desire for such change needs to intrinsically come from the client; Listen with empathy, which remains a defining characteristic of MI as well as any other counseling theory; and Empower the client—Basically, the counselor must support and nurture the client’s sense of self-efficacy.
