Reviews

"What a wonderful resource the Edinburgh Interview is for teaching and learning motivational interviewing! Humanity simply shines through this interview, which embodies so well the essential spirit of MI. Along with the detailed commentaries that accompany them, the interview and transcript continue to reveal new subtleties even after many listenings."
William R. Miller, Ph.D., Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry, The University of New Mexico
“Here you will find an example of a clinician who knows how to engage her client with humour and compassion, roll with resistance (both overt and subtle), avoid power struggles and lectures, and gently point out the discrepancies between her client’s love of his children and his love of alcohol. You will hear masterful use of motivational interviewing that seems effortless on the surface but reveals a thoughtful and wise use of every one of the foundational principles of this approach. Listen for examples of every kind of reflection described in the foundational MI texts – they are all here. See if you can find a confrontation that is inconsistent with MI practice but drenched in MI spirit. Listen along as this interviewer responds with humour and warmth to her client’s flirtations, without losing her focus on his drinking dilemma. To truly appreciate the impact of her clinical approach, just imagine how this interview might have been different if she had been invested in giving information or evoking the maximal amount of change in the time available with this client. Thanks, Jeff, for bringing us this wonderful example of Motivational Interviewing. I hope your interviewer got a raise!"
Theresa B. Moyers, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Department of Psychology, University of New Mexico

“An intoxicated and defiant client is easy prey for prejudice, moral indignation or well-intended efforts to persuade him out of his dilemma. MI provides a different approach to the challenge of client behaviour change. A lot has been said and written about it, but it is hard to get closer than this: the first example of a real-life MI session to be made available. The Edinburgh Interview, as Terri Moyers says, has it all. It is the finest I have come across. The surrounding software environment is beautifully designed to provide multiple routes for reflection and discussion. This product should become a standard learning tool for any practitioner, trainer or group of learners wishing to understand, use or study MI. I highly recommend this example of a courageous client, a highly skilled practitioner, and behind them, a truly talented supervisor in Jeff Allison.”
Stephen Rollnick, PhD., Professor of Healthcare Communication, Department of General Practice, Cardiff University
