MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING: INTRODUCTION - UPDATE
Two-day workshop
Date: Mon 22nd & Tues 23rd July 2013
Lead trainers: William R. Miller, Albuquerque, New Mexico & Stephen Rollnick, Cardiff, Wales
Venue: Swalec Stadium, Cardiff, Wales

This is a repeat one-off opportunity to learn about motivational interviewing (MI), and the latest developments, from its two co-founders, William R. Miller from Albuquerque, New Mexico & Stephen Rollnick from Cardiff, Wales. Professor Miller will return to Cardiff after a successful workshop in 2012. This will be of interest to both to newcomers and those more familiar with MI. A streaming system will be used to ensure that those relatively new to MI will get good opportunity to practice basic skills. It will provide:

• Clarification about the common and unique elements of MI
• A focus on client change language and how it guides the practice of MI
• An update on theory and research 
• The presentation of a new 4-process framework for MI that allows for easier integration in diverse settings
• Opportunity to practice core skills for evoking motivation to change

William R. Miller, Ph.D. is Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of New Mexico. He introduced the clinical method of MI in 1983, and with Dr. Stephen Rollnick authored the seminal text, Motivational Interviewing (1991 and 2002), now published in 14 languages. He has published over 40 books and 400 professional articles and chapters, and the Institute for Scientific Information lists him as one of the world’s most cited scientists.

Stephen Rollnick, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and Professor of Health Care Communication at the Institute of Primary Care and Public Health, Wales.
