Motivational Interviewing in Groups – in our bookshop now
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 psycho-educational, 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 behaviours, intimate partner violence, and sexual offending.
The book is edited by Chris Wagner and Karen Ingersoll. Chris presented at the 2nd International symposium on Motivational Interviewing that we hosted in Auckland last February. His ideas went down well.
The strengths of this book is that it provides:
- A new model of group work that draws on the latest principles and practices of MI, the hot, in-demand therapeutic approach.
- Complete: shows therapists and counsellors how to design and conduct any type of MI group.
- Answers the increasing call for cost-effective treatments in today’s healthcare economy.
- Includes concrete clinical examples and pull quotes highlighting key ideas.
