Biography
Professor Stephen Rollnick grew up in
William R Miller on the subject of motivational interviewing, a Doctoral thesis (1993) on counselling for excessive drinkers, to more recent work on consultations about lifestyle and medication use in healthcare practice. Through collaboration with Professor Chris Butler and Dr Paul Kinnersley he is now studying broader communication challenges like the antibiotic
consultation, and the development and evaluation of methods for helping undergraduates and qualified practitioners change their communication and consulting behaviour.
Development of motivational interviewing
Rollnick developed many fundamental concepts of motivational interviewing with Miller in their 1991 book.[1] Rollnick used his experience in the field of addiction treatment to find ways in which healthcare professionals could combat ambivalence regarding change. The technique has since been adopted by many healthcare professionals in their practice.
