	abstract = {This theoretical paper presents arguments for the significance of the location of motivation in the practice of clinical psychology. \&nbsp;Identifying the externality and internality of motivation is argued to be clinically relevant in assessing psychopathology as this can potentially resolve comorbidity issues and improve diagnostic reliability. \&nbsp;Furthermore, psychotherapeutic interventions can be tailored to the location of motivation. \&nbsp;Extrinsically motivated pathological behaviours can be addressed through behaviour-based approaches, while intrinsically motivated behaviours need more long-term and in-depth therapeutic approaches. \&nbsp;Lastly, prognosis can be assumed when the location of motivation has been identified {\textendash} with extrinsically motivated behaviours having better prognosis than intrinsically motivated behaviours. \&nbsp;Some directions for future research include testing the validity and reliability of motivation-based diagnosis, evaluating the effectiveness of matching the location of motivation with type of psychotherapy intervention, and comparing the effectiveness of motivation-matched interventions and disorder-based interventions.},
