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.
To allow for appropriate time to practice skills learned in the
