Rollnick developed many fundamental concepts of motivational interviewing with Miller in their 1991 book.

His early experience as a trainee nurse in a hospital addiction treatment setting led to an interest in constructive methods for helping people resolve difficult behaviour change problems. Since then he has lived and worked there as a clinical psychologist in the National Health Service and more recently, as a member of the Department of General Practice. Professor Stephen Rollnick grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and completed a Masters training in research methods in Strathclyde University in Glasgow (1978) and a professional training in clinical psychology in Cardiff (1983). Alongside William R Miller, he developed many of the founding principles of motivational interviewing.
