Abstract
Abstract Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach that has strong empirical support in individual interventions. There is emerging evidence that MI can be adapted, with a few critical modifications, to a group therapy format. Few published reports, however, have addressed the process of using MI in groups. We detail a number of recently developed strategies for adapting MI to groups and use transcripts from a cocaine abuse study to illustrate the application of MI to the group setting. We also present coding results from the group sessions using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) scale to assess MI treatment fidelity.
