Motivational interviewing is a technique that involves creating a discrepancy between an individual's current behavior and their ideal self-image, desired behaviors, and outcomes. This technique is based on the premise that individuals are more likely to change their behavior if they perceive that there is a discrepancy between their current behavior and their desired state. Thus, motivational interviewing is most likely to achieve its positive effects by highlighting these discrepancies and stimulating the individual's motivation to change. The other interventions listed (Antabuse, aversive shock therapy, and multimodal approach) do not rely primarily on creating discrepancies between the individual's current situation and their ideal self-image/desired outcomes.
