Description
Discover the gold standard in facilitating behavioral change with Motivational Interviewing: Helping People Change and Grow, 4th Edition. Authored by the founders of the approach, William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick, this foundational text is the definitive guide to Motivational Interviewing (MI). It provides a person-centered, evidence-based clinical method for helping clients resolve ambivalence and empower themselves to achieve their goals.
The 4th Edition has been significantly revised to reflect a broader application of MI across various settings—from healthcare and social work to education, dentistry, and coaching. It clearly outlines the core “Spirit of MI” (partnership, acceptance, compassion, and evocation) and walks readers through the four foundational processes: Engaging, Focusing, Evoking, and Planning . With simplified terminology, expanded discussions on recognizing and eliciting “change talk,” and numerous practical conversational transcripts, this edition makes the art of MI more accessible and actionable than ever before.
