Motivational Interviewing, First Edition

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'A decade ago, I had the opportunity to review a refreshing and exciting book called Motivational Interviewing. I predicted it would become a classic in the field, and indeed it did. Now the authors have provided us with a wonderful, enlightening second edition that will continue to be a classic. From the time of the first edition, MI has taken by storm not only the addictions field, but also the health care field in general. Consequently, much is new in the book. Miller and Rollnick have done it again - they have delivered a gem of a book that should be read by anyone, whatever their discipline, who provides clinical services.' - Linda C. Sobell, PhD, ABPP, Center for Psychological Studies, Nova Southeastern University

'Motivational interviewing has come of age. The first edition became a modern classic in the field; a decade later, this second edition shows how MI has matured as Miller and Rollnick and their many collaborators have gained in experience. The ideas are sharpened, the research base stronger, and the applications broader, now extending well beyond the treatment of addictions. But the essence remains the same: how to help people become 'ready, willing, and able' to make changes that improve the quality of their lives.' - Jim Orford, PhD, Professor of Clinical and Community Psychology, The University of Birmingham, UK

'The work of Miller and Rollnick is having a major impact on how therapists help to motivate clients in the prevention and treatment of addictive behaviors. It is refreshing to see the values of humanistic psychology and the principles of client-centered therapy reflected throughout this text. With an expanded focus on how people learn motivational interviewing, this new second edition will help readers gain both the knowledge and skills to prepare people to change their behavior and health habits. I highly recommend it.' - G. Alan Marlatt, PhD, Addictive Behaviors Research Center and Department of Psychology, University of Washington 'Motivational interviewing has come of age.
