Christopher C. Wagner, PhD, is Associate Professor of
Rehabilitation Counseling, Psychology, and Psychiatry at Virginia
Commonwealth University. A clinical psychologist, he has led
psychotherapeutic, psychoeducational, and support groups targeting
addictive behaviors, sexual behaviors and identity, HIV disease
coping, schizophrenia, and organ transplant, as well as general
adult mental health and development. Dr. Wagner is a past president
of the Society for Interpersonal Theory and Research and is a
member and former steering committee member of the Motivational
Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT). His research interests
include interpersonal processes in MI and other therapies, and

Karen S. Ingersoll, PhD, is Associate Professor of Psychiatry and
Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of
Medicine. A clinical psychologist, she has conducted
psychotherapeutic, psychoeducational, and support groups targeting
intimate partner violence, smoking cessation, relapse prevention
for addictive behaviors, HIV treatment adherence, and women's
health. Dr. Ingersoll is a corecipient of the Charles C. Shepard
Science Award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
for a study that reduced the risk of alcohol-exposed pregnancies
using an MI intervention. She is a MINT member whose research tests
MI as a foundational approach to improve health for people with
health and addiction concerns.
"Wagner and Ingersoll do a masterful job of showing how to
integrate the spirit, strategies, and concepts of MI into group
work in a consistent and credible manner. They describe in detail
how to deal with the needs and perspectives of multiple group
members while promoting the process of change for both individuals
and the group. The book is filled with practical suggestions,
scientific studies, and the rich experiences of pioneering
practitioners who are integrating MI into different types of
groups. The breadth and depth of the coverage is impressive, and
the practical examples of interactions very helpful. This book
should be required reading for anyone considering doing MI in
groups."--Carlo C. DiClemente, PhD, ABPP, Department of Psychology
(Emeritus), University of Maryland, Baltimore County
"Wagner and Ingersoll succeed in answering a question that
practitioners of all stripes have been asking for 20 years: 'How do
we do MI in groups?' Bringing to bear their talents as researchers,
practitioners, and trainers, the authors have woven a tapestry of
art and science. This is a soup-to-nuts guide on how to start and
run different types of MI groups, including a trove of advice from
the contributing authors about applications for specific
populations. A welcome addition to the MI literature."--David B.
Rosengren, PhD, President and CEO, Prevention Research Institute,
Lexington, Kentucky; member, Motivational Interviewing Network of
Trainers
"Wagner and Ingersoll are to be commended for providing this
engaging, relevant, and comprehensive book. Including chapters by
other well-recognized experts, the authors put forth evidence-based
therapeutic recommendations and identify important considerations
for MI group practice. The book offers specific guidelines for
developing groups for a variety of target populations. As a trainer
of group therapy, I was particularly impressed with the depth of
group practice facilitation skills communicated; this is rare to
find."--Rebecca R. MacNair-Semands, PhD, Senior Associate Director,
Counseling Center, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
"MI is about the therapist's attempts to mirror the client's own
goals and desires, so that self-initiated change can begin. This
book introduces a new kind of social mirroring for MI: the group
setting. Through an insightful sequence of chapters, the book shows
how peer interactions can assist in the change process. There are
potential pitfalls--for example, group members might argue with
rather than roll with each other's sticking points--but,
fortunately, the book provides much practical information about how
to focus and shape the group discourse for maximum utility. A rich
blend of psychological insights is the result."--Kennon M. Sheldon,
PhD, Department of Psychological Sciences, University of Missouri
-Motivational Interviewing in Groups is a very worthy effort to
disseminate information about a clinical technique that can be
extremely helpful in working with resistant clients. The authors
and their colleagues are to be commended for their dedication in
working with people who are often underserved, overlooked, or even
shunned by the provider community. They have obviously done a
tremendous amount of work in developing and practicing their
techniques, and they have accomplished a great deal in
demonstrating how MI can be taken out of the consulting room and
into the group room.--Journal of the Eastern Group Psychotherapy
Society, 5/1/2016ƒƒThe outcomes for MI in groups show enhanced
client accountability and group engagement. This book offers an
exceedingly practical, accessible, and helpful roadmap to its
use….As an instructive guide, this text not only affirms this
method of practice in groups, but also offers a plethora of very
helpful 'how-tos' with an array of client populations in a
multitude of settings. Some of the most challenging clients who
populate some of most complex groups are represented in this book.
This amplifies this book’s relevance and utility….Prior to reading
this book, my knowledge about MI was limited. After reading this
book, I am interested in seeking training and integrating more of
this into BSW and MSW curricula. Today's field is demanding it, and
this book is a response to the yearning for greater knowledge and
skills and the practical integration of different perspectives. I
think this book belongs on the syllabi of clinical practice
courses, group work courses, in social work and psychology
programs. It is scholarly, accessible, and highly engaging. I have
referred to it several times since first picking it up. I recommend
this book to practitioners, teachers, field educators, and
researchers. Field educators will find examples of interviewing
questions that may provide ballast and comfort for anxious social
work students who are looking for the words to say to their
clients. This book comes at a much-needed time in the field, and I
hope others will find it as useful as I do.--Social Work with
Groups, 10/16/2013ƒƒAnyone who wants to develop an MI group or
teach others to do so should consult Motivational Interviewing in
Groups or adopt it as a textbook for his or her graduate
class….Promises to be an important--perhaps even seminal--book that
may usher group MI into its eventual heyday of research and
practice.--PsycCRITIQUES, 8/28/2013
