The aim of this clinical report is to introduce the concept of motivational interviewing and the psychology of change into the context of anorexia nervosa. We outline the transtheoretical model of change and consider its relevance to anorexia nervosa. We chart the development of brief interventions using concepts from this model and from psychotherapy practice. Finally we illustrate the use of motivational enhancement therapy for anorexia nervosa.
