Abstract

(from the chapter) Motivational Interviewing is one type of psychotherapy that has been studied in a number of clinical trials. Motivational Interviewing includes some well-articulated strategies, processes, and objectives that lend themselves to measurement. The tone, or spirit, of Motivational Interviewing is somewhat harder to measure, as it is more abstract and subjective; trained evaluators and supervisors are needed to identify this in treatment sessions.
