MI is a particularly effective strategy for enhancing and maintaining client engagement in treatment.

Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is a specific application of MI developed by Dr. Miller for use in the treatment of substance use disorders. Numerous studies have shown that MET reduces the intensity of drinking behavior in a number of diverse populations.

In addition, consumers identify a person-centered approach as a critical component of their care. According to the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, “Nearly every consumer …expressed the need to fully participate in his or her plan for recovery.” (New Freedom Commission, 2003).

Rogers published Client-Centered Therapy in 1951 but continued to develop his theories, eventually referring to applications of his theories as “person-centered” approaches.
