What Is Motivational Interviewing?

A collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. – William Miller and Stephen Rollnick MI Helping People Change Third Edition
