________, a type of therapy where therapists convey their empathy with the client's situation, has been shown to be effective in decreasing problem drinking.​

A) ​Motivational interviewing
B) ​Alcoholics Anonymous
C) ​Spontaneous remission
D) ​Aversion therapy

Motivational interviewing is a type of therapy that focuses on the client's motivation and readiness to change. It involves empathizing with the client's situation and helping them identify and resolve any ambivalence they may feel towards changing their behavior. Research has shown that it is effective in reducing problem drinking. Alcoholics Anonymous is a self-help program, not a type of therapy. Spontaneous remission refers to recovery without any formal treatment, and aversion therapy involves associating negative consequences with the behavior to be changed.
