Description
This bestselling work for professionals and students is the authoritative presentation of motivational interviewing (MI), the powerful approach to facilitating change. The book elucidates the four processes of MI–engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning–and vividly demonstrates 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. Highly accessible, the book is infused with respect and compassion for clients. The companion Web page provides additional helpful resources, including reflection questions, an extended bibliography, and annotated case material.
This book is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.

Learning a lot in my Interviewing techniques course, and this book is part of the course.
Great book for learning motivational interviewing or just for learning how to positively interact with people who suffer from substance abuse. Great book for therapists!
So glad I bought this…..great info!
book goes in depth with how to do MI
I bought this for professional development in my engineering job.
I would argue that the principles in the book and active listening techniques are excellent.
It’s the implementation of the “evoking” i.e. persuading technique that can be used manipulatively.
I suggest using this book more for personal reflection on spiritual values than for using in the professional workplace. It is geared towards therapists and health professionals to help people change.
