MI has been shown to improve treatment adherence and outcomes, promote health behavior change, improve patient satisfaction with care, and increase retention rates in complex case management. This book describes how everyday persuasive language and strategies can trigger resistance in patients and explains how this opposition can be overcome through building rapport with the patient and listening to the patient’s reasoning and concerns.

KEY FEATURES:
• A practical, step-by-step approach to the use of MI skills and tools in all practice settings.
• Multiple dialogues between HCPs and patients to illustrate the use of MI skills and tools.
• Case studies including extensive dialogues with video links, plus analysis of the cases, to demonstrate the application of MI. Download latest books on mediafire and other links compilation Motivational Interviewing for Health Care Professionals: A Sensible Approach

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!
