*New self-assessment tool that targets the component skills of MI. *Extended bibliography and quick-reference glossary. *'Personal Perspective' and 'For Therapists' boxes in every chapter. *New or updated online materials, including reflection questions and annotated cases. *Increased emphasis on using MI throughout a client's process of change and growth, not just in the preparatory stage. *Discusses delivering MI remotely, simple versus complex affirmations, strategic use of directional questions, ethical considerations, and other new or expanded topics. *Addresses the breadth of MI applications not only in counseling and psychotherapy, but also in health care, education, coaching, management, and other contexts. The companion website provides reflection questions, annotated case material, and additional helpful resources. The book reviews the evidence base for the approach and covers ways to assess the quality of MI.

A wealth of vignettes and interview examples illustrate the dos and don'ts of successful implementation in diverse contexts. Miller and Stephen Rollnick elucidate the four tasks of MI-engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning-and vividly demonstrate what they look like in action. It has been updated and streamlined to be even more user-friendly as a practitioner guide and course text. Now in a fully rewritten fourth edition, this is the authoritative presentation of motivational interviewing (MI), the powerful approach to facilitating change.
