ly different approach for the TNT, something that I would not have tried myself, and it worked like a charm. It was such a pleasure to watch them guiding this group of new MINTies and finally receiving their “I learned . . .” sentence-stem affirmations from participants at the end of the workshop. Steve and I enjoyed our new backstage role, and were grateful to be releasing the reins into such capable and cre- ative hands. The MINT meeting also went off wonderfully well. This year Steve and I purposefully had almost no role in organizing, planning, and running the MINT Forum. It could not and would not have been better had we been guiding it. We each made a presentation, and otherwise were free to attend and par- ticipate in whatever ses- sions we chose. Again it was freeing to sit back and watch the thoughtful and creative process unfold. In the course of the meeting it struck me,Page 1MINTBulletin (2006) Vol. 13, No. 1 A Publication of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers Motivational Interviewing Network Of Trainers Volume 13, Issue 1 February 2006 Editor’s Choice MI Is All AroundAllan Zuckoff I write this column fresh from attendance at the 11 thInternational Conference on Treatment of Addictive Behaviors. Listening to the plenary presenta- tions—not only those of Bill Miller, Terri Moyers, Jim McCambridge, and Gillian Tober, but also of Thomas McLellan, Jon Morgenstern, Mats Berglund, Rudolf Moos, Linda Sobell, John Norcross, Larry Beutler, Michael Lambert —I was struck by just how taken-for-granted was the efficacy and importance of MI by these leading psychoth erapy researchers . I was also impressed by the clear confluence of addic- tions treatment research and psy- chotherapy research generally regarding “what works” —suchcommon factors as empathy, ther- apeutic alliance, collaboration on goals, objective feedback to both clients and therapists, matching of therapist directiveness to client resistance level, engagement of social networks and significant other support —and the extent to which practice and training of MI incorporates these common fac- tors. Was it just because we were in Santa Fe, at a conference co- chaired by Bill and Terri? Or could it be that MI works, at least in part, because it is a common fac- tors therapy par excellence ? Bill MillerAmsterdam and Autonomy It is said that if a mentor can just succeed in having students who understand and adopt his work and who are able to reproduce it with the same quality, then he has failed; for the mentor’s true task is to pre- pare others to go beyond where he has been. This year in Amsterdam I had the wonderful experience of sitting in the back of the room with Steve, watching the next generation of mentors stand where we have stood and train new trainers. The five of them—Jeff Allison, Cristiana Fortini, Kathy Goumas, Karen Ingersoll, and Dave Rosengren—created and implemented a creative- From The Desert and others commented on it, that a delightful aspect of the MINT Forum is that it is organized pre- cisely backward from the pyramidal structure of the usual scientific or professional conference. At the annual meeting of a professional association, for example, there is President who presides over the whole affair, and a few Big People (BPs) up front talking to the largely passive audience. The BPs are usually identifiable by the number of ribbons hanging from their name badges. Then there is the middle class of upwardly mobile experts, often with one-ribbon badges, who make presentations to largely pas- sive smaller audiences. Finally there are the plebeian masses with ribbonless badges, who shuffle from presentation to presentation accumulating notes and continuing education credits. If there is any time at all left after speeches with- in a session, audience participation is usually limited to a few ques- tions, often posed by the upwardly mobile middle class, designed to upstage the middle-class speakers and demonstrate the questioner’s cleverness. The MINT Forum is structured more like the 12-step programs. There is no President presiding, no coven of BPs dominating the podi- um, and often no podium.
