Praised for its clarity and practical approach, it remains a top-rated resource for clinicians, social workers, and addiction specialists aiming to enhance patient engagement and outcomes. ## Description This book has been replaced by Motivational Interviewing in Health Care, Second Edition, ISBN 978-1-4625-5037-1. Review: I finally get it update 2021 - Motivational Interviewing is a best practice approach for a variety of conditions / situations. It has been studied in addiction treatment, peer support, chronic disease management and a plethora of other settings. As a medical social worker and certified addictions specialist I have been exposed to many Motivational Interviewing trainings / books. This book is the best book I have found to explain motivational interviewing. In reading this for the first time a light bulb truly went off. If you are experienced in motivational interviewing or if you are new to the concepts this book can provide insight, tools and explanations for all levels. I think this book does a wonderful job talking about different styles such as directing, following and guiding. If you are new to MI and looking for a place to start this is a great book. If you have been using MI and are looking for inspiration to take your practice further this book will also be of help. UPDATE: There are a few books that survive the test of time. I have personally bought many copies of this book. Most given to new doctors coming out of residency some to new social workers or other professionals. I consistently use examples from this book when illustrating the role of MI in behavior change. This book not only improved my understanding of MI but also helps me explore MI with co-workers and others. Review: Great Book, makes a lot of sense - I have really enjoyed this book. The foundation of the book encompasses two obvious principles that come together in a way that gives easy guidelines for assisting people with change. The first principle is that people who are not changing are stuck in ambiguity, where they are in a balancing act between reasons to change, and reasons to stay the same. The second principle is that people believe what they hear themselves say. So, if you approach a change by only giving the positive reasons that they should change (you should eat fewer simple carbohydrates because it will help your blood sugar stabilize), the person will voice back the balancing view point (but sugary stuff tastes really good!). Now that they have voiced the negative, the pull of not wanting to change has been stuck in their brain even more. This book gives definite strategies on how to get out of this cycle. It really has helped motivate some of my patients- and even my children on occasion! Buy the book to find out how! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #429,671 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #435 in Medical Counseling #550 in Medical Clinical Psychology #794 in Popular Psychology Counseling | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 709 Reviews | ## Images ![Motivational Interviewing in Health Care: Helping Patients Change Behavior (Applications of Motivational Interviewing) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OM4fVi72L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I finally get it update 2021 *by M***F on March 21, 2009* Motivational Interviewing is a best practice approach for a variety of conditions / situations.

Recognize the principles explained in this book apply widely in dealing with people struggling with ambivalence. this book provides useful reminders of how to approach patients (and others) to achieve optimal effect.
