Berger and Villaume, pharmacy professors retired from Auburn University, explain the potential of patient-centered counseling for encouraging patients to consider and implement health behavior change. Their approach to motivational interviewing acknowledges the frequency of patient resistance to treatment plans, suggests health care providers move from provider-centered to patient-centered relationships, and applies communication theory to identify how motivational interviewing differs from everyday professional conversation.
