Review

A key strength of the book lies in one of the final chapters, where the authors guide the reader through several cases. For each case, a full conversation between a health professional and patient is presented, with and without the use of MI. There is a clear discrepancy between the two styles of communication, and the reader can recall how the concepts of MI relate to each situation. The authors also provide an analysis of each case to reinforce and clarify important points. To emphasize the message further, a link and QR code allow the reader to view brief videos for each case. Watching these interactions drives home the benefits of using MI and helps the reader better understand how to apply these principles in practice. The book is eye-opening for health professionals who may not be familiar with MI, and it introduces a new way to communicate effectively with patients. Readers can use the tools and real-world examples to immediately begin implementing MI in their practice. --Pharmacy Today, March 2014

Congratulations to the authors on the BEST Book and approach to Motivational Interviewing! In the midst of growing interest in Motivational Interviewing and Health Coaching as a way of improving patient engagement (or my preferred term of 'person engagement') new communication approaches are clearly needed. With the major shift in our U.S. health care delivery system to engaging the 'real decision-maker', the patient/person in their own health care and lifestyle management decisions, this book is a MUST. What makes this approach to Motivational Interviewing so valuable to all health care providers is the fact the authors use sense-making and practical reasoning. Unfortunately although with good intent, other Motivational Interviewing approaches are more of a communication protocol than truly exploring and facilitating the best decision-making approach between patient/person and their provider(s).

With an increasing focus on the importance assisting the persons in our care in creating and managing healthy lifestyles for prevention and chronic care management, only the patient/person knows the reasons or purpose that will be important enough to make lifestyle change AND the way he or she would like to approach the change process. This requires true heart-felt recognition of the patient/person's values, decision-making process and knowledge of what and how they can effectively make change. This Motivational Interviewing communication approach by Bruce Berger and Bill Villaume truly values the person and is not overly focused on a protocol to address perceived resistance as other MI approaches seem to be, but as a sincere approach to engagement of the person!
