Motivational Interviewing in the Treatment of Psychological Problems(3rd Edition)

With 75% new material, the fully revised third edition of this clinical reference and text
describes ways to integrate motivational interviewing (MI) into evidence-based
psychotherapy and counseling. Readers learn how MI concepts and tools can enhance
their foundational skills as helpers - and can be tailored for clients with depression,
anxiety disorders, addictions, posttraumatic stress disorder, and other frequently
encountered problems. Chapters are grounded in research on what works for particular
disorders. Vivid case examples illustrate the role that MI can play in helping clients at
any stage of treatment to resolve ambivalence and mobilize their energy, commitment,
and personal resources for change.
