Publisher's description: Since the initial publication of this breakthrough work, motivational interviewing (MI) has been used by countless clinicians. 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. Extensively rewritten, 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, 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, applications in medical, public health, and criminal justice settings, and using the approach with groups, couples, and adolescents.

"This book presents a challenging, new approach to the understanding of addictive behaviours, based on the premise that they represent breakdowns in self-regulatory processes. This new perspective has profound implications for the prevention and treatment of addictive disorders ... Part I lays out the conceptual foundations of the self-regulation model for the prevention and treatment of addictive behaviours. The theoretical basis of self-control is presented from three different perspectives in Part II: developmental psychology, neuropsychology, and associated learning. Part III addresses special issues, ranging from various forms of impairment of control, to controlled recreational drug use, to regaining control without treatment. Implications for treatment and prevention are presented in Part IV of the book, where a range of addictive behaviours are considered as well as several innovative approaches to improving control."--Back cover.

Along with the contributions of notable practitioners if the field, this text serves as an aid to graduate students and professionals. The authors stress the necessity of choosing different treatment protocols based on scientific research and a client's needs. This text also offers an up-to-date review of the treatment outcome literature, which illustrates that there are a number of treatments that are consistently supported by research. The subsequent chapters provide mini-treatment manuals for approaches with the most scientific support, with sections on matching clients to particular treatment and descriptions on how to utilize each particular treatment plan.
