Motivational Interviewing: Preparing People for Change, 2nd Edition
William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick

Motivational Interviewing is the textbok of choice for practioners wishing to help clients become "unstuck" from the ambivalence surounding the changes needed to move forward with their lives. Through the explanation of the process of behavior change, the critical conditions necessary for change, the handling of resistance, and the motivation of clients recognized as read for change, Miller and Rollnick step the reader through the MI process. The evidence-based approach also covers the applicable theory, research and excellent clinical case examples needed to illuminate such strategies as building motivation and strengthening commitment to change, avoiding first-session pitfals, and enhancing client confidence.
