Motivational Interviewing, Third Edition Helping People Change by William R. Miller Phd, Stephen Rollnick PhD

This bestselling work for professionals and students is the authoritative presentation 
of motivational interviewing (MI), the powerful approach to facilitating change. 
More than an update, the third edition has been fully restructured around the new four-process model of MI 
(engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning). MI originators William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick demonstrate
 what the processes look like in practice, describe a rich range of applications, and review the growing evidence base.
 Infused with respect and compassion for clients, the book begins with a thorough overview of the spirit and method of MI. 
Sections on each of the four processes offer step-by-step guidance for establishing a strong working relationship, developing 
a clear focus and direction, evoking and strengthening the client's motivation for change, and formulating a concrete plan of action.
 The core communication skills used in MI are explained; 
vignettes and interview examples vividly illustrate the "dos and don'ts" of successful
 implementation in diverse contexts. Ways to build proficiency in MI, integrate it with other practices, 
and assess intervention fidelity are discussed. Key points at the end of each chapter enhance the book's
 utility for teaching and professional development. The companion Web page 
 provides other helpful resources, including reflection questions, annotated case material, an extended bibliography, 
and a glossary of terms. Reflecting major advances in understanding and teaching MI, this book is essential reading for
 practitioners across the mental health and health care disciplines, including addictions specialists, clinical psychologists, 
psychiatrists, social workers, family therapists, counselors, nurses, physicians, and health educators. Graduate students in 
these fields will find it an accessible, uniquely informative course text. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
