*A to Z revision of the seminal bestseller (over 450,000 in print); the bible of a proven, highly effective therapeutic technique. *Virtually all-new, the book extends MI to more fields, yet is 25% shorter and has less technical jargon. *Popular worldwide--clinical reference sales are supplemented by heavy text use and workshop-driven demand from numerous MI trainings. *Broad market--originally developed for treating addictions, the approach is now widely used throughout mental health and health care specialties. *More than just preparing people to change behavior, MI helps people continue to grow; examples and sample dialogues show MI in action. *Chapter summaries, lists of key concepts, and "Personal Perspective" and "For Therapists" boxes aid in learning.
