Evolution of Motivational Interviewing: History and Theory
We will journey through time to explore how various psychological theories have influenced the inception and development of motivational interviewing (MI). Where does MI come from? Bill Miller has likened MI to “remembering” something we already know. MI doesn’t subscribe to one theory, but could be seen as “cherry picking” the most effective and efficient philosophies and practices from a variety of theoretical approaches. Many who learn MI identify overlaps in other modalities they use, like Solution Focused Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy. MINT member Dr. Janis Crawford completed her doctoral dissertation on a depth psychological perspective of motivational interviewing – an investigation of unconscious contributions to the evolution of the definition and methods used in MI.
