Connecting Paradigms: A Trauma-Informed & Neurobiological Framework for Motivational Interviewing Implementation provides an innovative approach to helping those struggling with past trauma to make critical life changes and heal from their pain and suffering. Scientific understanding of the brain, the impact of trauma, and research around behavioral change has grown exponentially over the last several decades. This knowledge is challenging and transforming thinking around how we provide mental health and substance abuse education, medical care, criminal justice, and social work. Connecting Paradigms presents an integrated model, combining research in neurobiology, trauma, behavioral change, harm reduction, and motivational interviewing into a practical skillset easily implemented across a variety of settings and professions.

Good information

The content is important for clinicians but the narration is terrible and the use of Asian accent is wildly inappropriate.

If you are in the mental health field this book is for you

Gave a fantastic overview of MI with actual guidance on how to use it with clients. Further sparked me to continue my research and practice of MI and will continue to use this book as a reference.

Great Book!

Valuable perspective on trauma and neurobiology's effects on MI. This is one I actually took notes on and might buy a hard copy for reference. However, I found the narrator's affected accent when quoting Tich Nhat Hanh to be mildly amusing bordering on slightly offensive. No need to take on a fake Asian accent to enhance the message. Otherwise, great audio.

Important Content

Good content, and I'm glad I could listen to it. I'll probably by a physical book, though, because it's one to take notes on with several lists of steps to take in the client process. Someone commented that the narrator didn't pronounce things correctly. That wasn't the problem, but he did have slurry diction sometimes, and he used odd syllable and word emphasis like "motivational interVIEWing" that was annoying at best and hard to understand at worst.

excellent

I enjoyed this book from front to back. It was exceptionally well cited and supported.. The narrator dis an excellent job, which made the content easier to digest.
