Developing expertise in motivational interviewing (MI) takes practice, which is exactly the point of this engaging, user-friendly workbook. The volume is packed with real-world examples from a range of clinical settings, as well as sample interactions and hands-on learning activities. The author is an experienced MI researcher, clinician, and trainer who facilitates learning with quizzes, experiential exercises, and reproducible worksheets. The reader learns step by step how to practice core MI skills: raising the importance of behavior change, fostering the client's confidence, resolving ambivalence, solidifying commitment to change, and negotiating a change plan. The utility of the book is enhanced by the large-size format and lay-flat binding. The book shows how to navigate each session using microskills that many clinicians already know: open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening and summaries, or OARS for short.

This book is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series.

This is a superb book. There are a number of excellent books on motivational interviewing but none that are so clearly directed to helping practitioners develop and practice their motivational interviewing skills.

The book presents clear, concise explanations of the core concepts and skills of motivational interviewing along with exercises to help the reader gain experience by putting the skills into practice. Whether you are new to motivational interviewing, an experienced practitioner hoping to enhance your motivational interviewing skills, or a trainer involved in teaching others how to use this approach to behavior change, this book will be a valuable resource. Highly recommended.

I purchased this book to utilize the many worksheets for training purposes. The activities are realistic and easily transferable to enhansing MI skills. I work in corrections and find this book valuable and worth the cost.
