Additional Details
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 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.

The MI process is used chiefly in therapeutic environments yet may also be used in medical situations and educational settings. Certainly, therapeutic specialists in addiction counseling would consider the format thorough, but even those educators dealing with underachieving students would find value in this technique. Though similar to empathetic listening, motivational interviewing primarily targets those clients that need to make changes more quickly than the average patient. For instance, addiction can be a serious health issue where the speed of making changes is quite possibly a matter of life and death. This tool can be taught in group seminars and practiced within organizations to help as many clients as possible.
Doody's Review
"The authors clearly justify the changes in their language in each edition, though some criticisms may be a little too harsh to matter much. The fourth edition strongly encourages practitioners to take another look at MI and spend the time honing their skills for facilitating change with their clients. Overall, the process is what counts and the ultimate product is valuable in helping someone make a change they indeed want to make but need a guiding hand to accomplish."
-- Jill Littrell, BA, MA, (Northeastern Illinois University) Doody's Review
"Miller and Rollnick masterfully guide us through the story of how MI has developed over four decades and bring its sophisticated simplicity to life in a way that stimulates the mind, touches the heart, and invites best practice. This text will remain the favorite companion for all professional helpers who want to weave MI into what they do. The fourth edition has an increased emphasis on growth, in addition to change, underscoring the importance of supporting persistence and maintenance of change. This book is very useful for any graduate-level curricula that focus on behavior change and/or psychotherapy skills."
-- Steve Martino, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine; member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers
"Miller and Rollnick continue to advance the method and message of MI in this sparkling fourth edition. The authors build on another decade of central involvement in the rapidly expanding MI research and practice community. Beyond simply updating the research, the authors have set out to succinctly explain the essence of MI and encourage innovative adaptations. This eagerly awaited volume will accompany practitioners--from many fields and at multiple professional levels--in their journeys toward greater success and satisfaction."
-- Richard P. Barth, PhD, MSW, School of Social Work, University of Maryland
"The fourth edition of Motivational Interviewing is an incredibly helpful resource for those in the helping professions and those training graduate students in health care, education, or psychology. It contains much of value for novice and advanced MI users. Transcripts of flowing conversations highlight the innovative ways that MI supports people to change and grow."
-- Wendy M. Reinke, PhD, Department of Educational, School, and Counseling Psychology, and Missouri Prevention Science Institute, University of Missouri–Columbia
"The fourth edition of this go-to text is like a home-cooked meal served up with all your favorites, but with a healthy dose of new concepts, skills, and upgraded terminology. Miller and Rollnick bring their trademark rigor and humility to this compelling refresh of the MI ‘bible.’ Replete with poignant clinical examples, the book strikes a perfect balance of the conceptual and practical. The new 'Personal Perspective' and 'For Therapists' features woven into each chapter work exceedingly well. The fourth edition is yet again a 'must read' for practitioners and a superb text for any MI-related course--I will use it in mine."
-- Kenneth Resnicow, PhD, Irwin M. Rosenstock Collegiate Professor of Public Health, University of Michigan
