Interventions

Motivational Interviewing (Treatment Group)behavioral

Motivational interviewing (MI) can be defined as a client-centered, directive method of therapy for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence (Miller and Rollnick, 2002). MI manifests through specific strategies, such as reflective listening, summarization, shared decision making, and agenda setting.

Social Skills Training (Control Group)behavioral

Within the social skills training framework, advice is given to clients and sessions are focused on assigning goals for clients to work towards without specific regard for their readiness to change. The intervention is aimed at finding appropriate ways to navigate typical social situations (e.g., how to negotiate with parents).
