Full description for Motivational Interviewing in Health Care

  • Much of health care today involves helping patients manage conditions whose outcomes can be greatly influenced by lifestyle or behaviour change. Written specifically for health care professionals, this concise book presents powerful tools to enhance communication with patients and guide them in making choices to improve their health, from weight loss, exercise, and smoking cessation, to medication adherence and safer sex practices. Engaging dialogues and vignettes bring to life the core skills of motivational interviewing (MI) in this book, and show how to incorporate this brief evidence-based approach into any health care setting. It features appendices that include MI training resources and publications on specific medical conditions.
