Motivational Interviewing: Helping People Change and Grow (Applications of Motivational Interviewing) Fourth Edition

An authoritative guide to Motivational Interviewing (MI), a powerful approach to facilitating change. Revamped for greater ease of use as a practitioner's guide and course text, MI founders William R. Miller and Steven Rolnick elucidate the four tasks of MI (motivating, focusing, evoking, and planning) and vividly demonstrate what they look like in practice. Extensive vignettes and interview examples illustrate the caveats of successful implementation in a variety of contexts. The book reviews the evidence base for MI approaches and addresses how to assess the quality of MI. An accompanying website provides questions for reflection, annotated case materials, and other helpful resources.
