ABSTRACT
We examined student outcomes following a semester-length course in Motivational Interviewing (MI) through 2 different pilot studies. Through Study 1 we examined within-group differences, whereas Study 2 allowed us to examine between-group differences. Both studies revealed gains in counselors'-in-training knowledge, attitudes, and empathic helping responses following participation in a semester-long course in MI.
