Description
Motivational Interviewing: Helping People Change and Grow, 4th edition
William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick, who developed Motivational Interviewing, wrote this guide to the method: a person-centered, evidence-based clinical approach for helping clients resolve ambivalence and reach their own goals. The 4th edition is written for clinicians, educators, and coaches who use the method in practice.
This edition broadens the book’s scope beyond addiction treatment to healthcare, social work, education, dentistry, and coaching, and uses simplified terminology throughout.
The spirit of MI and the four processes
The book sets out the “Spirit of MI”: partnership, acceptance, compassion, and evocation. It then works through the four foundational processes: engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning.
Change talk and OARS skills
Readers get expanded discussion on recognizing and eliciting change talk, along with guidance on the core OARS skills: open questions, affirming, reflecting, and summarizing. Clinical transcripts and conversational examples illustrate each skill.
