First of all pleasure, my name is Oscar Molteni, I am writing from Buenos Aires, Argentina. My profession is a psychologist, and I am Director of a hospital specializing in state drug and alcohol dependence in the city of La Plata, under the Ministry of Health, public and free (Hospital Reunion). In this institution on an outpatient serve patients aged 14-65 years or so, averaging 400 in monthly benefits.
For several months I have been implementing practices admission of patients with the type of motivational interviewing, in person at the beginning, some colleagues transmitting general aspects of this approach, along with conceptualizations of the transtheoretical model of change. It should be noted that given the current training of much of the mental health professionals in my country, predominantly psychoanalytical, these approaches are very difficult implementation
Even so, without even a case series, come systematizing the experience and I intend to extend the model, for which he would like to strengthen my own training.
Navigating web pages, it is an honor for me to contact you, and that is why I write, given my interest in guiding me, to formalize this aspect. While my English is very basic, I understand that for beginners, a workshop will be held in San Diego CA in October, but there is no room ...
Can you suggest any contact or possibility to extend training here in Argentina the MI trainer network?
From already thank you very much, at least take cognizance of this possibility

I have written this with the Google translator, so my apologies if you do not understand!
Best Regards
Oscar Molteni

Dear Oscar,

Good to hear from you!  I have been trying hard to think of contacts in your country with an interest in motivational interviewing, with no success.  So I wrote to an email discussion group of trainers in motivational interviewing, and asked them if they knew of anyone in your country who you could get in contact with. I'll let you know here in this forum when I receive a reply.

I am sorry to hear that the workshop in San Diego is full.  It will be conducted in English, yet I believe that there are many Spanish-speaking trainers in motivational interviewing who live in the US, Mexico and a few other places.  Most of our books have been translated in Spanish.   I'll see what my colleagues on the email discussion group come up with.

Meanwhile do not hesitate to put any questions to us here in this forum.

Best wishes

Steve

Stephen: Thanks for your response. I'll be expecting some more information. William Miller has recommended me to Dr. Yanhe. For now still working in the Hospital to extend the practice. Start a line of research with patient groups. I hope to formalize my training and join colleagues from Argentina. Also very interesting to Becci for primary health care. Thanks and see you soon

Dear Oscar,

When I wrote to the email discussion forum for trainers in MI I got some some good replies, even one from a very well-known psychiatrist who is a tango dancer, speaks Spanish and who loves your country!  Carolina Yahne also replied.

I have a list of names and their replies.  There will be good contacts here if you follow these up.

I dont have your email address. if you send this to me I'll send you the document with contact details on it.

Kind regards and good luck,

Steve

Dear Steve: my email address is oscarmolteni@ciudad.com.ar. I have already contacted Dr. Janhe, Dr Cantillanos de Chile - near here! - and Dr Balan who comes to Argentina frequently. If more coaches on your list I will contact them and no doubt we will organize something, tango included! Thank you very much for everything
Cordially
