Voor het project Sensing Streetscapes sprak Hogeschool van Amsterdam-onderzoeker Frank Suurenbroek met Marlies de Nijs, senior stedenbouwkundige bij de gemeente Utrecht. Zij vertelt over de Utrechtse manier van stadmaken met hoogbouw achter de coulissen van levendige plinten.Voor het onderzoeksproject Sensing Streetscapes maakten Frank Suurenbroek en Gideon Spanjar een booklet waarin zij en andere experts het belang van de menselijke maat in de verdichte stad analyseren. Het interview met Marlies de Nijs is daarin ook opgenomen.

This study examined patient and appointment factors as predictors of nonattendance in addiction mental health services. Data were collected from the electronic files of 7,641 patients treated for a substance use disorder in outpatient clinics of an addiction mental health organization in the Netherlands. Negative binomial regression analyses revealed that cocaine use, poly substance use, limitations in interpersonal functioning, presence of anxiety disorder and cluster C personality disorder, age, level of education, source of income, and planning consistency were associated with nonattendance.

AIM: To contribute to the knowledge and understanding of the active ingredients and mechanisms of change in Motivational Interviewing (MI), to enable MI-counsellors to optimise their MI-strategies in daily practice.METHOD: The body of this dissertation are two multiple case studies, one in 14 patients with schizophrenia receiving MI for medication adherence; another in 24 patients with a coronary artery disease receiving MI for smoking cessation.FINDINGS: We found that the active ingredients of MI consist of combinations of clinician factors and patient factors, mostly built up during longer interactions. ‘Arguing oneself into change’ was the most frequently observed mechanism of change.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Active ingredients in MI consist off combinations of factors contributed by the clinician and factors contributed by the patient. These factors can be employed in a person-centred MI-strategy to trigger a mechanism of change in the patient.This dissertation adds to the understanding of MI since it provides an explanation of how MI may work. It offers a general idea how counsellors can effectively execute MI. This ‘how-possibly’ explanation may be a building block in the development of a ‘how-actually’ explanation of the interactions leading to the active ingredients and mechanisms of change in MI.--De vraagstelling van het proefschrift is hoe MGv werkt: wat zijn de actieve ingrediënten en de verandermechanismen van motiverende gespreksvoering? De twee patiëntengroepen laten zien dat de actieve ingrediënten van MGv bestaan uit een wisselende combinatie van zorgverlener- en patiëntfactoren. Actieve ingrediënten ontstaan gedurende een langer lopende interactie tussen patiënt en professional.
