Summary
Higher education in health science and social work are examples of professional educations where it is vital to continue to learn and develop professional knowledge. The basis for professional knowledge varies among different education programmes, higher educational institutions and fields of knowledge. This study focused on an education program of relevance especially to professionals within health and social work; learning Motivational Interviewing (MI), in this article addressed as the intervention. The focus was on whether training in MI contributed to the development of the ability to build a working alliance, which is an essential skill in health care and social work.
