Matt’s Success Story of MI Theory in Practice

Scenario: A woman who lives at home frequently becomes combative toward her caregivers during self-care activities like bathing and toileting. Her doctor prescribes her an antipsychotic to help calm her, but the medicine sedates her so much that she sleeps much of the day. Not liking the affects the medication has on her, the family contacted me to help.

Care based on MI results: After conducting an MI survey on the woman, a former music teacher, it showed that she had a high level of musical intelligence. I suggested playing music during these activities, which helped eliminate much of her aggression, without the need for medication and its side effects.
