"Highly recommended to all practitioners in health settings and to clinicians supervising and teaching others."--Drug and Alcohol Review, "This approach is one that can be powerfully used by occupational therapy practitioners who are working in mental health and substance abuse settings, or any psychosocial behavioral health setting....In preparing professional students for practice, I view this approach as foundational to their effectiveness in building motivation and strengthening commitment to change with their clients."--Occupational Therapy in Mental Health, This approach is one that can be powerfully used by occupational therapy practitioners who are working in mental health and substance abuse settings, or any psychosocial behavioral health setting....In preparing professional students for practice, I view this approach as foundational to their effectiveness in building motivation and strengthening commitment to change with their clients., "The strength of this book lies in its reader-friendly yet scholarly approach."-- Community Mental Health Journal (on the second edition), "Excellently written and a genuine pleasure to read, being highly accessible for clinical practitioners and lay people alike....This book is essential reading for anyone in the business of helping people to change and will be considered an invaluable resource for many years to come."-- Addiction Today, Highly recommended to all practitioners in health settings and to clinicians supervising and teaching others., "This approach is one that can be powerfully used by occupational therapy practitioners who are working in mental health and substance abuse settings, or any psychosocial behavioral health setting....In preparing professional students for practice, I view this approach as foundational to their effectiveness in building motivation and strengthening commitment to change with their clients."-- Occupational Therapy in Mental Health (on the second edition), "Not only has the original book become a classic, but MI has taken the world by storm....The methods described gel extremely well with social work's strengths/empowerment perspective."--Journal of Social Work Practice in the Addictions, "A superb, readable guide to theory and practice. MI has fundamentally changed the way we think about working with less motivated clients, especially in today's healthcare climate, with its emphasis on evidence-based brief treatments. The four-part framework introduced in this edition greatly simplifies the way that MI is delivered. Miller and Rollnick do a superb job of breaking down a complex process. At each step, readers see exactly why the provider is choosing certain questions or statements over others."--Scott T. Walters, PhD, School of Public Health, University of North Texas Health Science Center "This book builds on the prior editions, but the result is substantially different, because it incorporates so many new concepts, skills, research findings, and practical applications. Written in a user-friendly manner, with many sample dialogues, this is an immensely useful resource. It is a 'must have' for anyone who is learning MI or utilizing the approach in clinical practice, from students to seasoned professionals."--Melinda Hohman, PhD, School of Social Work, San Diego State University "The most complete explication of MI to date. Building on the explosion of MI research in the past decade, most of the material in this third edition is new, including compelling advances in understanding how MI influences the process of personal change. This book is destined to have an enormous impact on the field. It is a 'must-adopt' text for courses in psychology, counseling, social work, mental health, addictions, and healthcare more broadly."--Timothy J.

The book illustrates clinical case examples to prepare psychiatrists who work in all different types of settings....This is a user-friendly, engaging, and comprehensive text that should be required reading for all practicing clinicians., "Miller and Rollnick, the founders and authors of Motivational Interviewing, stress that MI is not simply a technique to help people change but more a way of relating to others, an interpersonal style. This subtle but vital point is made throughout the latest volume, the most thourough guide to the subject yet. This third edition contains a large amount of updated material from earlier versions. Iy is excellently written and a genuine pleasure to read, being highly accessible for clinical practitioners and lay people alike. ... This book is essential reading for anyone in the business of helping people to change and will be considered an invaluable resource for many years to come." - Emmet Gomes, Addicition Today, March 2013 "A superb, readable guide to theory and practice.
