Preview Motivational Interviewing for Mental Health Clinicians: A Toolkit for Skills Enhancement

Praise for Motivational Interviewing for Mental Health Clinicians “Frey and Hall have done something remarkable: added something entirely new to the MI world. Literally breathing life into the heartset of learning MI, this toolkit gently guides practitioners into a self-reflective and compassionate review of their practice and learning MI. Mental health providers have another must-add book for their libraries.” -David B. Rosengren, PhD, President & CEO, Prevention Research Institute, Author of Building Motivational Interviewing Skills: A Practitioner Workbook “Motivational Interviewing for Mental Health Clinicians provides the tools you need to integrate the skills and strategies of motivational interviewing (MI) into your day-to-day work. Offering a cornucopia of activities, exercises, and invitations to self-reflection, Frey and Hall are expert guides to putting in place the building blocks of an MI practice that fits you and feels like yours. Speaking in a friendly, encouraging, and knowledgeable voice, they invite you to join them in a step-by-step process of thinking about what you do—its challenges as well as its successes—and trying out new ideas and approaches for enhancing motivation and commitment to change. They will help you deepen your empathy for your clients, your compassion for their struggles, and your celebration of their triumphs—and help you feel more like the practitioner you want to be. With examples galore of conversations about all kinds of problems in all kinds of settings, Motivational Interviewing for Mental Health Clinicians is a practical, concrete resource for every practitioner who wants to master the MI way of being with people.” -Allan Zuckoff, PhD, Author of Finding Your Way to Change: How the Power of Motivational Interviewing Can Reveal What You Want and Help You Get There “This is a refreshing and fun book that is a great resource for busy clinicians and anyone wanting to improve, practice, or hone their MI skills in a purposeful, practical, and effective way. There’s a nice combination of didactics, client-practitioner scenarios/dialogues, and case examples, along with practitioner exercises peppered expertly throughout each chapter for on-the-spot skill practice. This is a book I can pick up after a long day and become energized to utilize these strategies with my clientele. The activities are practical and able to be completed in reasonable amount of time.” -Nikki Cockern, PhD, LLP, Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Manager, Assistant Professor, Wayne State University “Being a trainer who has done numerous trainings on mental health, I found the practitioner exercises, especially for the MI spirit, extremely practical. I can see myself using that format for my training presentations. The exercises are new and address the real content of MI. Great book!” -Maurice Bulls, MEd, Executive Director, Behavior Change Consulting Institute “This is a highly relevant and user-friendly package of resources for which I’ve been awaiting for a decade. It will be an indispensable resource in my work to further support my interprofessional teams to incorporate MI knowledge and skills in outpatient, inpatient, and crisis settings. It will occupy a prominent place in my professional library.” -Tim Godden, BSc, BAA(J), BSW, MSW, Clinical Supervisor and Trainer, Toronto, Canada “This book has a clear, simple, direct style that belies its sophistication. It would be a good adjunct to an organized program of MI instruction for practitioners in the mental health field, but is also clear enough that it would work for independent study. There’s enough detail and nuance in it that intermediate/advanced learners would also benefit from it as well as people just starting out with MI. My favorite thing about the book is the range of examples: it’s often said that there are ‘many right ways’ to do MI, but there are few books that actively demonstrate this as well as this one, something that reflects the years of experience the authors have had as MI trainers.” -Guy Undrill, MB ChB PhD, Retired Consultant Psychiatrist, Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING MENTAL HEALTH CLINICIANS FOR A Toolkit for Skills Enhancement Jennifer Frey, PhD and Ali Hall, JD Foreword by William R.
