DESCRIPTION:*Motivational Interviewing: Helping youth to overcome ambivale
 nce*\n\nCombining both non-directive and directive elements\, Motivational
  Interviewing (MI) was formulated by Miller and Rollnick in the 1980s as a
  way to alleviate a person’s ambivalence about change.  The essence of M
 I is that change occurs through increasing clients’ intrinsic motivation
  and that external approaches\, such as persuasion\, coercion\, and confro
 ntation\, will not be successful.  Initially used in addictions counseling
 \, MI is now used in a variety of counselling settings and has significant
  empirical support behind it.\n
