Abstract

Helping patients to change behavior concerning their drinking is a common task in primary care. This article examines the limitations of using the approach of giving advice and identifies concepts and methods, which offer the promise of improving the quality and effectiveness of consultations about alcohol use. The central role of ambivalence in alcohol dependent patients is explored and practical solutions to resolve ambivalence are described, considering the stages of change model.
