A unique clinical resource, this book shows how to infuse the methods
and spirit of motivational interviewing (MI) into group-based
interventions. The authors demonstrate how the four processes of MI with
individuals translate into group contexts. They explain both the
challenges and the unique benefits of MI groups, guiding practitioners
to build the skills they need to lead psychoeducational,
psychotherapeutic, and support groups successfully. A wealth of clinical
examples are featured. Chapters by contributing authors present
innovative group applications targeting specific problems: substance use
disorders, dual diagnosis, chronic health conditions, weight management,
adolescent risk behaviors, intimate partner violence, and sexual
offending.
This book is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series,
edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.
