Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered counseling style aimed at facilitating behavior change by resolving client ambivalence. It has evolved through significant historical milestones and is supported by various institutions in India and internationally. While MI can lead to positive outcomes and higher patient satisfaction, it requires time to establish trust and may not suit every individual due to varied cognitive needs.
