Summary

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is efficacious for anxiety disorders and depression, but not all patients achieve remission, and dropout is considerable. Motivational interviewing (MI) may strengthen motivation to change, and influence non-response and dropout. Research shows that MI as a pretreatment to CBT produces moderate effects compared to CBT alone. Studies integrating MI with CBT (MI-CBT) throughout treatment are scarce. The present study explored the feasibility of MI-CBT in routine psychiatric care, and compared CBT alone to MI-CBT for anxiety disorders, depression, and unhealthy lifestyle behaviors. The Anxiety, Depression, Diet, Alcohol, Physical activity, and Tobacco (ADDAPT) feasibility study had a randomized controlled design, and data were analyzed using hierarchical regression.
