Editorial Reviews: Product Description Since the initial publication of this breakthrough work, motivational interviewing (MI) has been used by countless clinicians. Theory and methods have evolved apace, reflecting new knowledge on the process of behavior change, a growing body of outcome research, and the development of new applications within and beyond the addictions field. Extensively rewritten, this revised and expanded second edition now brings MI practitioners and trainees fully up to date. William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick explain how to work through ambivalence to facilitate change, present detailed guidelines for using their approach, and reflect on the process of learning MI. Chapters contributed by other leading experts then address such special topics as MI and the stages-of-change model, applications in medical, public health, and criminal justice settings, and using the approach with groups, couples, and adolescents.

I'm a counsellor for teenagers at risk, and one of the things that get young men and women to trust their therapist is when they can notice improvement in their situation right away. I use a lot of NLP techniques, of course, but I also take a lot from Motivational Interviewing. This book is clear, to the point, and full of great ideas. I recommend it. motivationa interviewing, second edition: preparing people for change August 20, 2009 R. Dunbar (western WA USA) This textbook will be useful to help motivate me, offering reminders that it is the counselor that needs to change his/her approach when stumbling blocks cut off the flow of communication. A great resource/reference to have. Motivational Interviewing June 11, 2009 Cecilia Turriff I was pleasantly surprised at the value of this book. I serve on a committee whose mission is to increase the levels of physical activity in our group. I learned some basic and important concepts about what makes change. Let's face it, if change were easy and a rational decision, we would all be healthier, thinner, non-smokers and non-alcohol drinkers. This book is a must for those who are trying to institute real change. This book is of value to those who are tired of doing ineffictive things that make little real change in any arena of life. Motivational Interviewing, Second Edition: Preparing People for Change April 14, 2009 David Harpaz (Venice, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I learned a lot from this book and I recommend it. Regarding the "1 star" review - you, sir, have no idea what you're talking about. Perhaps you are confused and meant to review a different book. This one is organized well enough and repeats the core ideas that must be repeated and learned well. I'm sure that if you'd read the book thoroughly without skimming you'd see the value in it. I'm working with ADD clients and the ideas explained in this book helped me a lot. Industry standard, so to speak January 6, 2009 R. Gab (USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful I had to read it for a class, and initially just checked it out from the library, but it was a decent book, and apparently it's well known in the counseling world, so I bought it.
