Providing tools to enhance treatment of any clinical problem, this book
shows how integrating motivational interviewing (MI) and
cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can lead to better client outcomes
than using either approach on its own. The authors demonstrate that MI
strategies are ideally suited to boost client motivation and strengthen
the therapeutic relationship, whether used as a pretreatment
intervention or throughout the course of CBT. User-friendly features
include extensive sample dialogues, learning exercises for
practitioners, and 35 reproducible client handouts. Purchasers get
access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible
materials in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size.
This book is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series,
edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.
