A Brief History of Motivational Interviewing MI: a counseling modality, evolved from Carl Rogers’s
Client-Centered Therapy (Rogers, 1951) and Prochaska’s Stages of Change Theory (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1984).
Developed by William Miller and Stephen Rollnick (Miller & Rollnick, 2002) as a treatment protocol to reverse adult alcohol and substance abuse.
Adapted for use with adolescent cannabis users Further adapted for other risk behaviors such as
smoking cessation, medical treatment protocols, and now,
Academic environment: adult literacy, traditional education and underachievement applications to improve persistence and academic performance
What is Motivation and Where Does it Come From?
External –vs- Internal Motivation: The difference between the “gold-star” reward system of reinforcement and internally-driven goal setting and acquisition.
Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) The internal dynamics of human motivation.Illuminates the function of attributional mechanisms that fuel goal setting and behavior-modification and empowers the individual to effect behavioral change by redirecting intrinsic motivation.
Behavior… to Change
“Behavior is the result of an interaction between [a] situational pull and personal tendencies” (Miller & Rollnick, 2002, pp.287)
Possible Selves Values
Create discrepancy
Possible Selves?
Self-knowledge delineated by both the personal and the social context.It represents an individual’s ideals of
What they might become,
What they would like to become,
What they are afraid of becoming (Markus & Nurius, 1986).
Values: How important? “Rules for living; important, desirable or
worthwhile needs and wants; fundamental ideas about what is right and wrong, good and bad; stimuli which can induce positive or negative emotional states; and preferred events (Fraenkel, 1980).
“What is prized or held in high esteem (values) implies standards of appropriate human behavior (morals) compatible with principles (ethics) governing what is good for the person and for the society to which the individual belongs” (Irwin, 1988).
Congruence –v- Discrepancy Discrepancy, like Piaget’s notion of
Disequilibrium, is the energy behind change. Self seeks congruence between Possible
selves and the present self…but you need a conductor to encourage orchestration…
Motivational Interviewing works to reveal ambivalence, elevate discrepancy, and elicit change talk —in the direction of a self-identified Possible Self.

Motivational Interviewer
How Does it Work?
Motivational Interviewing is
a counseling modality that effects behavioral change by:
•Developing discrepancy and ambivalence;•Encouraging CHANGE TALK; and
•Calling upon internal or intrapsychic mechanisms such as Resilience (Henderson & Milstein, 1996),
Personal Values (Miller and Rose, 2009), and
Intrinsic Motivation (Miller & Rollnick, 2002)
to empower the individual.

Some important data on MI: Project MATCH, 1997
(Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 58:7-29) Design Randomized clinical trial Population Outpatient and aftercare Nation US (9 sites) N 1,726 adults MI 4 session Comparison 12 session CBT or TSF Follow-up 15 months post-treatment (Miller, W. R., 1995)
Open-Ended Questions Avoid “Yes” or “No” response Elicit broader answers Use client’s own words Avoid bias/prejudgment Make few assumptions Not judgmental or preachy Don’t label emotions
Open-Ended Starters
Open: To what extent…? How often…? Why…? Tell me about… Help me
understand… What, if any…? What else…?
Closed: Did you..? Will you…? Can you…? Is it…?
Fundamentals of MI:“OARS”
Affirmations Recognition of client’s
strengths & qualities Your “vote of confidence” Reality based appraisal Positive truths, based upon
past successes & future potential
Fundamentals of MI:“OARS”
Reflections Keep the conversation
client-centered & equal Focus in on 1 part of a
complex statement Reflect both sides of
client’s ambivalence
Fundamentals of MI:“OARS”
Summaries Capture essence of client’s
motivational conflict Link current & previous topics Transition from 1 topic to
