Motivational Interviewing, Third Edition: Helping People Change

"A superb, readable guide to theory and practice. MI has fundamentally changed the way we think about working with less motivated clients, especially in today's healthcare climate, with its emphasis on evidence-based brief treatments. The four-phase framework introduced in this edition greatly simplifies the way that MI is delivered. Miller and Rollnick do a superb job of breaking down a complex process. At each step, readers see exactly why the provider is choosing certain questions or statements over others." - Scott T. Walters, PhD, School of Public Health, University of North Texas Health Science Center "The most complete explication of MI to date. Building on the explosion of MI research in the past decade, most of the material in this third edition is new, including compelling advances in understanding how MI influences the process of personal change. This book is destined to have an enormous impact on the field. It is a 'must-adopt' text for courses in psychology, counseling, social work, mental health, addictions, and healthcare more broadly." - Timothy J. O'Farrell, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School
