Adherence to therapeutic treatment, is a crucial issue . The lack of adherence can lead to serious consequences: a level of compliance (C) below 75% of the recommendations involves twice as likely to die within a year in post-myocardial infarction. The situation is even more worrying as this happens often without the knowledge of the physician: in fact, the subjective clinical impression of the physician does not correlate with the actual C of patients. Acting on C is not easy; doctors often feel inadequately trained to deal with this complex problem and it is quite remarkable that a matter so relevant in clinical practice is virtually overlooked in the medical training. The motivational interview is a type of relational approach developed in the late 80's in English-speaking countries in the framework of dependency treatments; it is a counseling aimed at resolving the conflict to achieve a behavioral change, covering all fields of medicine.
