MINT Bulletin

The MINT Bulletin replaces the Motivational Interviewing Newsletter: Updates, Education and Training (MINUET), which was the MINT newsletter from 1994 through 2004. The MINUET served as the primary vehicle for communication among MINT trainers until the establishment of a restricted MINT listserve in 1999. After that time, the MINUET continued to serve as a vehicle for distributing conceptual articles, international updates, and "distilled" summaries of some of the topics discussed on the listserve. The MINT Bulletin is made available here for downloading in Adobe Acrobat form.

Feel free to photocopy and distribute the MINT Bulletin, but please respect the efforts of contributors and cite their contributions accordingly.

Inquiries and submissions for the newsletter should be forwarded to:
