Resumen del Editor

In this concise book, you will learn how to do Motivational Interviewing (MI), the evidence-based, client-centered counseling approach that has demonstrated effectiveness for a range of psychological, behavioral, and health related issues.

Rather than the counselor arguing for the client to change, the MI approach helps elicit client's own arguments for behavior change. Some of the topics covered include:

• How to prepare for an MI session,
• How to assess your client's motivation using two simple questions,
• How to ask powerful, strategic questions that move a client toward healthy behavior change,
• How to handle "resistance" or discord in the therapeutic relationship
• How to give information and advice in the MI consistent way that is acceptable to the client

The author, an experienced psychologist, psychotherapist, public speaker, and MI instructor, shows how simple counseling techniques, taught in any beginning counseling class, can be powerful when used strategically to tap into clients' own motivation. Anyone who works with people including doctors, nurses, psychologists, addiction counselors, social workers, case managers, family advocates, lay counselors, correctional staff, dentists, life coaches, dietitians, nutritional counselors, physical therapists and others would benefit from the information in this book. The second edition updates the information and concepts presented in the first edition based on recently published texts of MI.

Short but sweet

This is not a very comprehensive book, and isn't enough if you really want to understand the theory and evidence completely, but it is a good practical overview on how to do motivational interviewing.

Good information but poor narrating

The content of this audiobook is fantastic. Great primer on the principle and application of this technique. However, the narrator sounds like he is rushing though the entire book. Not only the speed of reading is fast, there is barely a breath’s rest between sentences. Even when there is a paragraph break, there is no break between. There were a few times where I realized halfway through the next sentence that he’s talking about a totally different topic. There is absolutely no time to process anything in the book as you listen. I took so many breaks and repeated listens just to actually hear the content.

PDF?

In the book the person refers to the worksheets and it would be helpful for that to be assessable. Other than that the book was to the point and helpful especially after a training

Dr. Matulich's Narration makes MI come alive!

As a member of MINT, I have regularly recommended Dr. Bill Matulich's ebook, "How to Do Motivational Interviewing" to my graduate students and trainees. Having just listened to his new audiobook, I am excited to recommend this as well. Dr. Matulich's cogent explanations of MI skills and his advice about effective communication are invaluable. Listening to his audiobook makes MI come alive, whether you are new to learning MI or a seasoned clinician interested in a review. This audiobook is a wonderful resource! Pam Burke

great summary

a really great presentation of the key points in motivational interviewing. can really recommend it

Exactly what it is

This is exactly what I expected. A brief, complete, descriptive overview of how a MI session might go. I listened to it at work on x1.25 speed and was done in an hour and a half.

Ok communication/counseling tips

I picked up this very short work in an Audible sale, thinking it had to do with job interviewing. Apparently it's something related to therapy/counseling/psychology work. This is the sort of cheat sheet for a more comprehensive technique. This "motivational interviewing" technique sounds like basic coaching/counseling: trying to ask questions instead of telling the client what to do, gently guiding them to making their own decisions to change. I think this could be helpful for anyone who needs to work on self improvement or is interesting in communication.

Informative

I enjoyed learning the techniques paired with real life examples, the author provided. Did this in sessions and it was helpful for the clients.

very textbook

I do MI as a dietitian. It was helpful to review the flow of official MI theory. I might listen to it again sometime.

a great practical introduction to MI.

As a practical introduction to MI, this work should be required reading/listening for all social workers, marriage counselors or anyone else that is engaged in counseling for chanfe.
