MI is a client-centered
counseling approach that engages clients’ intrinsic motivation to change toward
healthier behavior. MI counselors use a set of specific, teachable techniques
within a non-judgmental, non-confrontational atmosphere to increase clients’
awareness of the problems and of the consequences and risks associated with the
unhealthy behavior in question. MI has a shown robust evidence of effectiveness
in improving a range of health behavior problems, including substance use
disorders, treatment non-adherence and smoking. MI can be delivered flexibly,
in short- or long-term intervention formats.
