Based upon a tried and tested framework of intervention, Health
Behavior Change, third edition, brings together the field of
communication, the study of motivation and how people change, and
insights derived from listening to and observing patients over many
years, to provide a helpful source of advice on how to encourage
individuals to embrace behaviour change and then maintain it. This
popular paperback is written in a friendly and accessible writing
style, and contains an abundance of 'real-life' clinical cases,
sample interviews, and the latest evidence-base regarding best
practice. The book also contains information on learning the
necessary techniques, overcoming personal barriers to success, and
how to use the techniques in a wide variety of settings. Learning
aids include 'Useful Questions' boxes, to help learners structure
consultations, 'Key Points' boxes, to summarise the crucial 'take
home' message, and 'What to Avoid' boxes, which give the benefit of
extensive experience. The new edition now comes with an EVOLVE (c)

successful interview, an explanatory transcript of which is given
within the book, and downloadable Patient Worksheets. Suitable for
