Motivational interviewing is an effective interviewing technique developed by psychologist William R. Miller and applied to helping people who are struggling with alcohol dependence.
Researchers have found motivational interviewing to be an effective catalyst for behavioral change in other contexts than substance dependence.
The key element in motivational interviewing is an attitude of humility and interest in the person being interviewed. Three features include:
1. Asking open-ended questions
2. Engaging in reflective listening
3. Affirming the person's desire and ability to change.
Many resources refer to four core principles of motivational interviewing (MI).
- Express empathy
- Roll with resistance
- Develop discrepancy
- Support self-efficacy
In the substantial literature, motivational interviewing is often referred to as MI.
William Miller has published a book on MI, which has been revised since it first appeared in the 1990s. You can also see William Miller on YouTube. See resources below for links.
