Motivational Interviewing: Helping People Change and Grow (Unabridged‪)‬

Now in a fully rewritten fourth edition, this is the authoritative presentation of motivational interviewing (MI), the powerful approach to facilitating change. It has been updated and streamlined to be even more user-friendly as a practitioner guide and course text. MI originators William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick elucidate the four tasks of MI—engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning—and vividly demonstrate what they look like in action. A wealth of vignettes and interview examples (engagingly read by multiple narrators) illustrate the dos and don'ts of successful implementation in diverse contexts. The book reviews the evidence base for the approach and covers ways to assess the quality of MI. Virtually a new book, the fourth edition addresses the breadth of MI applications, not only in counseling and psychotherapy, but also in health care, education, coaching, management, and other contexts. The companion website provides reflection questions, annotated case material, and additional helpful resources. This title is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.
