Motivational Interviewing - theory and practice
Motivational Interviewing (MS) is a patient-centered, directive psychotherapeutic approach developed by Rollnick and Miller, which has proved particularly useful in psychiatry. Both communication with patients and the effectiveness of therapeutic procedures and in particular behavioral change processes can benefit from this set of strategies.
In the psychiatric context, motivation may be pathologically compromised. Adherence to treatment is hampered by the characteristics of the disease, as well as by the profile of the drugs in use. The mastery of techniques and respect for the principles of MS can contribute to a differentiated clinical approach and a specific communication pattern by amplifying the benefits of a collaborative clinical-patient relationship.
