Motivational Interviewing in Health Care, Second Edition. Helping Patients Change Behavior
2nd edition

The definitive guide to motivational interviewing (MI) for health care practitioners has been completely revised to reflect important developments and make the approach even more accessible. Even the briefest clinical interaction can serve to build trust, clarify patients' goals as well as reasons for ambivalence, and guide them to take positive steps. Vivid sample dialogues, tips, and scripts illustrate ways to incorporate this evidence-based approach into diverse health care settings.
New to This Edition - Restructured around the current four-process model of MI (engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning). Incorporates lessons learned from the authors' ongoing clinical practice and practitioner training workshops. Chapters on advice-giving, brief consultations, merging MI with assessment, MI in groups, and making telehealth consultations more effective. Extended case examples, "Try This" activities, and boxed reflections from practitioners.
