Description: About this productSynopsisSince the initial publication of this classic text, motivational interviewing (MI) has been used by countless clinicians in diverse settings. Theory and methods have evolved apace, reflecting new knowledge on the process of behavior change, a growing body of outcome research, and the development of new applications within and beyond the addictions field. Including 25 nearly all-new chapters, this revised and expanded second edition now brings MI practitioners and trainees fully up to date. William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick explain how to work through ambivalence to facilitate change, present detailed guidelines for using their approach with a variety of clinical populations, and reflect on the process of learning MI. Chapters contributed by other leading experts then address such special topics as MI and the stages-of-change model; using the approach with groups, couples, and adolescents; and applications to general medical care, health promotion, and criminal justice settings.Product IdentifiersISBN-10089862469XISBN-139780898624694eBay Product ID (ePID)707219Key DetailsAuthorStephen Rollnick, William R.

The book contains many practical and helpful procedures that can be used by clinicians and counselors to motivate their clients for treatment or participation in self-help groups....I recommend it highly as a refreshing alternative to the traditional ''confrontational'' style advocated by adherents of the disease model of addiction. This book will do much to move people with addiction problems into the ''action stage'' of dealing more effectively with their problems.'' --G. Alan Marlatt, coeditor of Relapse Prevention, and Professor of Psychology, University of Washington "''Must'' reading for clinicians working with people [who have] problems with addictions. Practical clinical techniques, clearly articulated theory, fascinating case examples, and a series of chapters showing the application of the principles and techniques to diverse populations all make this a valuable book....It will be required reading for all my students, counselors, and therapists." --Barbara McCrady, Professor and Acting Director, Center of Alcohol Studies, Rutgers University "The book by Miller and Rollnick is of great significance...it promises to become the ''bible'' of motivational interviewing. Everything that is needed to learn and benefit from this new approach is here....Any therapist who wishes to acquire familiarity with one of the most important developments of recent times in the treatment of addictive behaviors should read and consult this book. Certainly, no one concerned with improving their understanding and skills in this field of treatment should be without it." --Nick Heather, Professor of Drug and Alcohol Studies, University of New South Wales "Miller and Rollnick have produced a landmark guide for effective counseling of clients with such maladaptive behaviors as excessive alcohol, drug, and tobacco use, compulsive gambling, and sex abuse....The whole book is compassionate and humane in its approaches and is replete with specific, interestingly written accounts of actual sessions....This work is likely to make a material contribution toward more realistic, nondogmatic styles in the treatment of behavioral problems." --Don Cahalan, Professor of Public Health, University of California at Berkeley "We adopted the text for a clinically oriented class on substance abuse and were very pleased with the book and its procedures. Students find it very helpful because it shows how the theories and methods they are learning may be put into practice. The book is great for hands-on clinical practice dealing with substance abuse." --Professor Frank L. Collins, Ph.D., Director of Clinical Program, Oklahoma State University Psychology Department "Specific, concrete. Excellent therapeutic approach. Clearly written." --Stanley G. McCracken, Ph.D., University of Chicago, Tinley Park, IL "Text contains strong ideas with an empirical base." --Cass Dykeman, Ph.D., Eastern Washington University, Cheney, WA; Course: Addictive Behavior Counseling "Simply the best text of its type." --J.F. Stand, Ph.D., Rehabilitation College of Springfield College, MA, course: Rehabilitation of Alcoholics "This book is excellent--on the cutting edge." --Bruce Underwood, Dr. Ph., Chapman University (course: Seminar in Exercise Science) "We adopted the text for a clinically oriented class on substance abuse and were very pleased with the book and its procedures. Students found it very helpful because it showed how the theories and methods they were learning may be put into practice. The book is great for hands-on clinical practice in dealing with substance abuse." --Frank Collins, PhD, Director of Clinical Programs, Oklahoma State University, Psychology Department "Well organized and well written. Packed with useful information." --Ann Tomey, Indiana State University, Terre Haute; Recommended text; Graduate, courses have various titles"Excellent 'how-to' book....This is a landmark book that could be the harbinger of a revolution in the treatment of substance abuse and other addictive behaviors...Nonetheless, the rationale for motivational interviewing is sound, well thought out and sensible, given what is known about the psychology of motivation. There is little doubt that the authors, who are well-known researchers as well as clinicians, will be filling in the empirical lacunae as soon as the data are available. In the meantime, clinicians who are looking for a new approach to motivating substance abuse clients that is solidly based on empirical research can do no better than to read this book and learn motivational interviewing." --Studies on Alcohol "A unique approach designed to help clients identify and change a wide variety of bith substance and process addictions....Of great value in a baccalaureate nursing program or for a practicing nurse clinician....Highly recommended because of its usefulness to addictions nurses." --Perspectives on Addictions Nursing "An up to date, well-written, and comprehensive outline of a motivational approach to addictions counseling....The culmination of a decade of research and experience....One of those important books produced every four or five years which is a necessary read for all of us who are trying to help people change their addictive behavior." --Alcohol and Alcoholism "....Particularly useful with people who are reluctant to change or ambivalent about changing." --International Journal of Social Psychiatry
