Overview
Motivational Interviewing for Clinical Practice teaches the reader how to use the critically important tool of motivational interviewing to promote health and well-being. Based on the theoretical framework of Miller and Rollnick, the book presents the latest models and techniques that the editors and authors have found helpful in their scholarship and clinical experience. Failure to adhere to recommended treatments is common across a wide range of illnesses -- from medical problems, such as hypertension or management of cardiovascular risk factors, to psychiatric disorders, including addiction. The methods and skills of motivational interviewing can be applied to any health behavior, be it giving up alcohol or cigarettes, taking medication for hypertension or high cholesterol, or changing dietary and exercise habits. Motivational Interviewing for Clinical Practice has many useful features: • The book is organized along the four processes of motivational interviewing -- engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning -- which provides a consistent framework for enhanced understanding.• The authors include numerous case examples with extensive illustrations of clinical dialogue that will be invaluable to both novices and experts.• The book explores the integration of motivational interviewing with other psychotherapies and the use of motivational interviewing with psychopharmacology.• The authors also address special topics such as motivational interviewing in a diverse society and the teaching of motivational interviewing.• Key points, references, and multiple-choice examination questions, along with explanations of the correct answers, are provided, as well as numerous clinical tools and summary tables to bring the material to life.• For those looking for a quick general or board review on the topic, the multiple choice questions and answers are collected together in a special section for easy access, self-study, and review.• Medical students new to motivational interviewing provide reflections on each chapter, focusing readers on the material deemed by their peers to be most useful to them in the future.
Written for busy clinicians without specialized knowledge or expertise in behavior change, Motivational Interviewing for Clinical Practice provides straightforward, practical suggestions for working effectively with patients who suffer from substance use and other psychiatric disorders.

What People are Saying About This
This is a wonderful, easy to read guide that will help any busy clinician whether she or he is a general psychiatrist, family practitioner, internist, or pediatrician who is interested in how to advise, counsel, motivate, and direct a patient into making a major life change. I highly recommend this book to any clinician seeing patients with a substance abuse problem or psychiatric disorder who are in denial of their illness. The physician is presented with an easy "how to" method of providing proper motivation to change in a patient who is in denial of their substance abuse problem or psychiatric disorder. This excellent book is filled with many case studies and practical suggestions on how to direct troubled patients through their various stages of change as originally presented in the Prochaska and DiClemente's Stages of Change Model. As an added treat, the book is fun especially if you are a movie buff because in each chapter the authors illustrate a clinical point through the presentation of a scene from a popular movie.
Substance abusers who are ambivalent or not ready for change can be some of the most challenging clients, leaving clinicians feeling helpless and turning away patients, saying, 'Come back when you are ready.' However, this invaluable book offers a powerful tool for therapists to help their clients become ready. Drs. Levounis and Arnaout have written an invaluable guide to Motivational Interviewing. Modern-day theories and data-supported practices are explained in clear, approachable language, and clinical vignettes demonstrate practical solutions to clinical scenarios that therapists in the field actually see. This book should be required reading for any clinician who sees substance abuse issues in his or her practice.
How do you deal with patients when their very disorder undermines their motivation for treatment? This book provides both theory and case examples for the clinician confronting this problem. Because of this, it is a valuable addition to the library of anyone who faces this quandary. So do make this book part of your library. You will have use for it.
Read this book and you clinical practice is certainly going to change -- whether you treat addiction, depression, or any other psychiatric illness that requires motivation to change behavior. Motivational Interviewing is a wonderful technique, and it is even more fascinating when taught the way it is in this handbook. Superb structure, organization, and creativity, seem to have magically come together in this little volume making it an essential part of a clinician's library and a sheer delight to read.
Levounis and Arnaout's Handbook of Motivational Interviewing is destined to become an indispensable guide in the navigational toolbox of all practitioners working with substance-abusing patients. The clinical examples in each chapter are frequently engaging and central to the Handbook's teaching narrative. Clearly and accessibly written, clinically illuminating and useful, both seasoned and beginning therapists will find much of value in this volume.
Motivational interviewing, a directive relational style grounded in Rogerian and supportive psychotherapy, is an important skill that all clinicians should learn. This engaging book makes sound arguments as to why traditional paternalistic approaches to treatment engagement and adherence tend to fall flat, and how the hard work of increasing patients' intrinsic motivation for change using this evidence-based intervention, pays off in a variety of situations. Unlike the typical, dry expository approach of clinical texts, Levounis and Arnaout have succeeded in engaging the reader to experience the continuum of motivational work using clinical situations that practitioners will recognize from their own experience -- situations that the chapter authors address with clear expertise and which are anchored in the easily recognizable life experience of characters from film. This is an excellent textbook, which is actually fun to read.
Psychiatrists -- and any health care providers -- who want to build solid rapport with and help facilitate lasting transformation in their patients should own, read carefully, and frequently refer to Handbook of Motivation and Change -- a Practical Guide for Clinicians. This book, replete with vivid, realistic, useful case examples, provides an immediately accessible window into the theory and basic concrete skills needed to grow into an accomplished practitioner of the motivational interviewing approach. Each self-contained chapter, while fully relating to the work as a whole, stands fully on its own allowing the reader to pinpoint needed information quickly, including valuable chapters on integrating motivational interviewing into other forms of psychotherapy and into pharmacotherapy.
