I really like this book. The second version is a giant enchancment over the first as it makes the MI method extra generic (as it should be) and less tied specifically to substance abuse. I frequently use this ebook when teaching starting remedy abilities to doctoral college students in scientific psychology, however it's not only a e book for beginners. What I like is the way Miller & Rollnick spend a number of time talking about generic abilities fundamental to any healthy therapeutic relationship -- and particularly their discussions about various kinds of reflective listening and dealing with resistance. The MI approach is very helpful in dealing with clients who are combating ambivalence about their problems (or about being in remedy) -- which occurs with great frequency in any apply (not simply with substance abusers or courtroom-ordered clients).

MI matches well with all types of other psychotherapy techniques, together with consumer-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and strategic/structural.

I have discovered by way of private expertise that when persons are motivated to vary, progress is relatively fast. It's getting them ready that often presents the problem; this e-book meets that problem head on.
Wonderful resourse for the person concerned with serving to others in a host of various therapy settings. For people within the serving to fields, this method gives new ways of viewing remedy resistance, goal ambivalence, and aim achievement. In using this system, we allow the client/consumer to have the ability to formulate plans and objectives for themselves sooner or later, returning them to an elevated degree of functioning in the community.
