Overview

Motivational Interviewing for Health Care Professionals: A Sensible Approach presents a new way of teaching the theory and practice of motivational interviewing (MI) to health care professionals (HCPs). 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. But sharing medical expertise while empowering patients to make their own decisions can be a daunting task. This book describes how everyday persuasive strategies and language can trigger resistance in patients, and how this can be overcome through building rapport with the patient and listening to the patient’s reasoning and concerns. Using MI will enable HCPs to communicate with patients in a clear, concise, and sensible way that helps open patients to the possibility of behavior change. By using the tools and skills in this book, HCPs can have a greater impact on improving patient outcomes. KEY FEATURES: A practical, step-by-step approach to the use of MI techniques and tools in all practice settings Multiple dialogues between HCPs and patients to illustrate the use of MI techniques and tools Case studies including extensive dialogues with video links, plus analysis of the cases, to demonstrate the application of MI
