I highly recommend this book for any practitioner dealing in health behavior change. In a conversational style with numerous helpful examples, the authors translate complex psychological concepts into easy-to-understand terms that will support and guide health care practitioners in improving their consultations with patients. The book is also a 'must' for the shelves of undergraduates and graduate students alike who are interested in motivational interviewing within the world of health care practice. - Judith Carpenter, registered dietitian, Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust, UK Many of today's leading causes of death are significantly related to modifiable health behaviors. This book provides a critical approach for helping patients change their behavior. Motivational interviewing (MI) provides a new alternative to the outdated direct persuasion approach, bringing a breath of fresh air to the conversation between health care providers and those with chronic diseases like diabetes and obesity. Practical examples and exercises make this book a powerful tool for use in educating medical students, nurses, and other health care professionals about encouraging patients to make healthy choices. - Robert Gabbay, Executive Director, Penn State Diabetes and Obesity Institute, Pennsylvania State College of Medicine, Milton S.
