During some researches about How to change others opinion, I have read about Motivational Interviewing strategy. This strategy seems effective to change others opinion to allow them to explore their own motivations.

I have not found particular drawbacks of this strategy.

Motivation Interviewing is a strategy used to motivate people to change. Motivation Interviewing bases its functioning on five principles:

• Express empathy
• Develop discrepancy between the actual values and the behaviours
• Avoid arguments to avoid the other person becomes defensive.
• Approach the resistance of the other person in a non-judgemental way.
• Allow the other person to find themselves the motivation and the way to change

Motivation Interviewing works because:

• Reduce resistance expressing empathy and avoiding argumentation.
• Encourage self-reflection and autonomy.
