Motivational Interviewing in the Treatment of Psychological Problems

This is a remarkably useful edited text. Published in 2007, it describes novel MI applications in the treatment of anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicidal behavior, obsessive-compulsive disorder, eating disorders, gambling addictions, schizophrenia, and dual diagnoses. Also addressed are MI approaches in the criminal justice system. Each chapter provides a concise overview of the disorder or population under discussion; describes how MI has been integrated with standard treatment approaches; illustrates the nuts and bolts of intervention, using vivid clinical examples; and reviews the empirical evidence base. The relevance and practicality of the case examples and discussion make it obvious that the authors of each chapter have actual clinical experience with the population about which they are writing.
