Chapter 44.Motivational Interviewing
Sections
Excerpt
Motivational interviewing (MI) is “a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to specific goals by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion” (Miller and Rollnick 2013, p. 29). MI is founded in client-centered therapy (Rogers 1951) as a way to facilitate change. Put more simply, MI is “a collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person’s own motivation for and commitment to change” (Miller and Rollnick 2013, p. 29). Born in Miller’s work with adults struggling with substance use and misuse, MI has emerged as a therapy with broad applications across multiple domains.
