Engle, a therapist in private practice, and Arkowitz, a professor of psychology at the University of Arizona, Tucson, redefine resistance as ambivalence and present several approaches to address it. Using cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic and humanistic perspectives, they outline an integrative model of ambivalence and describe several strategies for resolution. They emphasize motivational interviewing and the two-chair approach, illustrating each technique with case examples, transcripts and pointers for practice.
