Publisher's Summary

In this concise book, you will learn how to do Motivational Interviewing (MI), the evidence-based, client-centered counseling approach that has demonstrated effectiveness for a range of psychological, behavioral, and health related issues.

Rather than the counselor arguing for the client to change, the MI approach helps elicit client's own arguments for behavior change. Some of the topics covered include:

  • How to prepare for an MI session,
  • How to assess your client's motivation using two simple questions,
  • How to ask powerful, strategic questions that move a client toward healthy behavior change,
  • How to handle "resistance" or discord in the therapeutic relationship
  • How to give information and advice in the MI consistent way that is acceptable to the client

The author, an experienced psychologist, psychotherapist, public speaker, and MI instructor, shows how simple counseling techniques, taught in any beginning counseling class, can be powerful when used strategically to tap into clients' own motivation. Anyone who works with people including doctors, nurses, psychologists, addiction counselors, social workers, case managers, family advocates, lay counselors, correctional staff, dentists, life coaches, dietitians, nutritional counselors, physical therapists and others would benefit from the information in this book. The second edition updates the information and concepts presented in the first edition based on recently published texts of MI.

Succinct and informative

As an emerging social worker, I thoroughly enjoyed this audio book on MI. It is easy to listen to and I was able to grasp the concepts without reading/listening to hours of content and jargon. I understand MI to fit well with SW principles and really helpful as I start to develop my practice framework.
Thank you. 100% recommend

Great review for practitioners

I don’t normally give five stars, but this download deserves it.

This listen is great for practitioners who want to quickly review MI. It’s punchy it get straight to the point and I would recommend it.

fairly average, good overview, could be better

Narrator was a little dry, I had trouble focusing, maybe that's just me. it was a good overview though I was expecting a lot more detail. I think the most valuable thing was when he said "let the clients teach you".
