abstract="This pilot study examined the use of motivational interviewing (MI) with 20 women receiving services at a domestic violence shelter, using qualitative and quantitative research methods. The experimental group (n = 10) received regular treatment services from shelter counselors trained in MI, whereas the control group (n = 10) received regular treatment services only. The quantitative findings related to readiness for change were published separately (Rasmussen, Hughes, & Murray, 2008). The qualitative findings suggest MI is an effective intervention for enhancing the impact of regular treatment services in survivors of intimate partner violence and increasing their self-efficacy about ending violence and avoiding violent relationships.
