Evidence indicates that motivation early in treatment is critical to treatment outcome, and motivational interviewing (MI) has addressed this finding by helping individuals work through ambivalence about change. Not only has it demonstrated improvements in treatment outcome across treatment populations and settings, it has been adapted with success into brief motivational interventions. This special issue explores the use of MI with populations at great risk for ambivalence in therapy, including college students violating campus policy, individuals who have been trafficked, and individuals in exposure therapy. The papers further highlight the versatility of MI-based interventions, as well as their limitations, that may help inform future directions for adapting MI as we move toward digital and web-based interventions.

探索动机访谈多功能性特刊简介。


有证据表明，治疗早期的动机对于治疗结果至关重要，而动机性访谈（MI）通过帮助个人克服对变革的矛盾心理来解决这一问题。它不仅证明了治疗人群和环境中治疗结果的改善，而且还成功地适应了简短的动机干预措施。本期特刊探讨了 MI 与治疗中矛盾心理风险较高的人群的使用，包括违反校园政策的大学生、被贩运的个人以及接受暴露疗法的个人。这些论文进一步强调了基于 MI 的干预措施的多功能性及其局限性，这可能有助于为我们在转向数字和基于网络的干预措施时适应 MI 的未来方向提供信息。
