Active Ingredients and Mechanisms of Change in Motivational Interviewing for Medication Adherence. A Mixed Methods Study of Patient-Therapist Interaction in Patients With Schizophrenia.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trials studying Motivational Interviewing (MI) to improve medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia showed mixed results.

We studied the cases of fourteen patients with schizophrenia who participated in a st
