EFFECT OF MOTIVATIONAL ENHANCEMENT THERAPY ON READINESS TO CHANGE PATTERNS OF ALCOHOL USE BEHAVIORS IN MALE ADULTS

Abstract

Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) is a motivational interviewing technique that employs a structured intervention to help problem drinkers and drug users improve their behaviour. It's now on the air. It is meant to produce rapid, self-motivated transformation and is based on motivational psychology ideas. This treatment uses motivating strategies to mobilise the client's own resources for change, rather than attempting to direct or train the client through the process step by step. The aim of the present study is to study the effect of motivational enhancement therapy for reduction of alcohol dependency among individuals with alcohol dependence syndrome. Results revealed that Motivational Enhancement Therapy plays an important role in reducing alcohol craving among individual with alcohol dependence syndrome.
