What is motivation? From a psychological point of view it is a force, of psychic nature, which makes the individual show certain behaviour. Freud said that each behaviour, also the most strange, always responds to a motivation and the motivation’s meaning is often unknown not only by people in contact with the subject but also by the subject himself. If we wanted to contextualise motivation within the alliance relationship, we could consider the last one as an interaction between two poles: one is the therapist the other is the patient, each with his own intrapersonal and interpersonal features, in a specific space defined by the setting, motivation is one of the intrapersonal patient’s characteristics. Therapeutic alliance is a strong predictor of outcome in individual psychotherapy across diverse treatment orientations and modalities both with adult patients [14], [26] and adolescents [10], [13]. Patient’s motivation, within the working alliance, during therapeutic intervention has been much studied [21], [7], [15], [30], [24], [25], [29], whereas the motivation associated with the diagnostic moment has been given less importance in scientific literature [22], [17]. Close to the theory there is clinical experience related to the centre we work in. Longitudinal studies about adolescents’ therapeutic compli‐ ance and clinical evolution done within our Services [9], [10], [11] showed most of adolescents did not follow therapeutic suggestion about undergoing psychotherapy after the diagnostic process. Compliant and not compliant adolescents were different because of motivation expressed during the diagnostic process: the most of motivated adolescents started therapy, whereas the most of unmotivated adolescents did not. The clinical evolution resulted in association with adolescents’ motivation as well: after six months a clinical improvement was statistically more frequent among motivated than among unmotivated adolescents.
