This may be the single most important book you ever buy during your
medical training. Rotations come and go, exams come and go, but
regardless of specialty, patient-care will be at the heart of your
practice. It is no exaggeration to say that motivational
interviewing (MI) has transformed the way doctors engage with
patients, families, and colleagues alike. MI is among the most
powerful tools available to promote behavior change in patients. In
an age of chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, heart disease,
obesity), behavior change is no longer limited to substance use or
the field of psychiatry - maladaptive choices and behaviors that
negatively impact health outcomes are rampant. There is an
explosion of research projects using MI or adaptations of MI in the
behavioral health medicine field in the past decade.
Hospitalizations can't make people change. How marvelous is it that
an evidence-based health behavior change approach (MI) can help
people change the outcomes of their illnesses and the course of
their lives. This therapeutic approach is not a form of
psychotherapy and is not the stuff of cobwebs and old leather
couches.MI is readily integrated into regular ward rounds and
office visits and provides an effective and efficient approach to
patients clinical encounters. Written by experts in the field and
medical trainees across medicine, this is the first MI guide of its
kind. Its explores how MI enhances contact with patients from every
level of training, following an accessible, succinct approach. This
book covers the application of MI method and skills into practice
and also includes numerous clinical scenarios, personal reflections
and online animated clinical vignettes (video clips) that share the
challenges and successes the authors have focused. Furthermore this
book is endorsed by the pioneers of MI: William R. Miller &
Stephen Rollnick.
