OARS is an
acronym for Open questions, Affirmations, Reflective listening and
Summarizing. Though these 4 skills are
widely used in various therapeutic settings, they are the core communication
skills when using Motivational Interviewing to express empathy, explore
ambivalence and guide the client to articulating reasons for change. Focus of this training will be on OARS skill
development.
