ABSTRACT

This study is Motivations to change are internal products injected with an energy of desire toward change. Because these motivations to change long for a voluntary and positive change, they become the strength that draws out the client to accomplish change as the goal of the counseling. More than anything, the motivation to change is the basis of power whereby the client attempts to achieve change as the ultimate goal of the counseling so it affects the effect of the counseling. However, the motivation to change disappears if energy is not constantly committed to it. Therefore, a method to constantly maintain and internalize motivations to change is required, and this is possible through Christian counseling. The purpose of the present study is to establish a basis for the possibility to integrate motivation interviewing methods that focus on enhancing motivations to change by assessing methods from a Christian counseling perspective. The assessment results show that, first of all, motivational interviewing failed to create motivations in an amotivational state. Second, dissonance in terms of ambivalence was included as a factor that resisted motivations to change, but the issue of sin was left out as a fundamental cause of resistance. Third, the study establishes an integrated contact point from a positive aspect that presents counseling methods that can actually be realized in the counseling field.
