Eight Stages in Learning Motivational Interviewing
William R. Miller PhD & Theresa B. Moyers PhD

Abstract: Motivational interviewing (MI) is a clinical method for helping people to resolve ambivalence about change by evoking intrinsic motivation and commitment. Based on our research and experience in providing training on MI, practitioners acquire expertise in this method through a sequence of eight stages: (1) openness to collaboration with clients’ own expertise, (2) proficiency in client-centered counseling, including accurate empathy, (3) recognition of key aspects of client speech that guide the practice of MI, (4) eliciting and strengthening client change talk, (5) rolling with resistance, (6) negotiating change plans, (7) consolidating client commitment, and (8) switching flexibly between MI and other intervention styles. These key skills are acquired roughly in order, with earlier steps representing logical prerequisites for later stages of skill acquisition.

12 Days of Holiday Cheer – Celebrating Some of Our Best!

Day 1: Our Top Tweets of the Year:

  • December 2019: “Excited 2 be again @ #DIScience19. Saddened 2 again see a relative lack of #addiction#impsci presented- considering the #opioidaddiction prom in US. Kudos 2 several of our authors who are presenting some work. #impsci is one of #saj themes. Happy 2 chat 2 any potential authors”
  • October 2019: “Over 300 registrants so far. Is this the biggest ASHR ever? #AHSR2019. Looking forward to seeing young and old scholars, new and old friends.”
  • September 2019: “@back2brains The NIH and particularly NIDA prefers MOUD. MAT can be used only if you are referring to Medication Addiction Treatment. There is nothing “assisted” about it. Many journal editors are now suggesting this term.”
  • August 2019: It was a quiet month – forgive us!
  • June 2019: “CONGRATS to the authors and the readers of @SubstanceAbuseJ Our 2018 Impact Factor (IF) reached 3.0 (2.986). Only a handful of journals in our field are higher. Here are our latest metrics.”
  • May 2019: “Looking forward to this conference and advancing the dissemination of quality #AHSR2019 and #addiction and #healthservicesresearch from the conference. Deadline is May 10, 2019. Submit your work early!”
  • April 2019: “Don’t forget about the @AMERSA_tweets abstract and travel award deadlines of MAY 1, 2019. It should be a great meeting in Boston. All accepted abstracts will be published in @SubstanceAbuseJ but you need to submit to be accepted to be published!”
  • February 2019: “No end to the crisis without an end to the waiver: “Perhaps more importantly, as long as additional training [under #DATA2000] is required, the #buprenorphine treatment itself will remain stigmatized and separate from mainstream health care practice.”
  • January 2019: Another quiet month – give us a break, it was dark and cold!
