Product Description
by Barbara Orr (Author), Marilyn Stein (Author)
For "change agents" with either a rudimentary or a more advanced knowledge of what Motivational Interviewing is and does, this workbook provides increased understanding of and confidence in using this important evidence-based communication approach. Social workers, probation officers, caseworkers, and other direct-service providers will benefit from the overall review of concepts and terms, and from the practical exercises that allow for direct application. It can be used either as a self-guided review and activity tool, or in a group setting facilitated by Motivational Interviewing Coaches and supervisors as a means to increase fidelity of this approach in professionals' daily interactions with clients. Motivational Interviewing has proven to be significantly effective in connecting with and influencing clients to think about, talk about, and step into change. We hope you'll use this workbook to help that happen.
