CHOICE Review

Many health problems result from poor lifestyle choices; thus, health care practitioners frequently must encourage their patients to consider health behavior change. Rollnick (Cardiff Univ., Wales), Miller (emer., Univ. of New Mexico), and Butler (Cardiff) focus on the technique of motivational interviewing (MI) for promoting health behavior change within everyday clinical practice. This guide is divided into three sections. First the authors explain motivational interviewing, emphasizing its three communication styles of directing, guiding, and following, and the specific associated core skills of asking, listening, and informing. Next they address skill refinement and the use of skills in service. Following this are practical case examples, tips on guiding, and discussion of a service environment that enhances health behavior change. The volume includes a learning guide (the epilogue), two appendixes with additional resources on MI, and a topical bibliography of MI research. Practitioners such as nurses, the largest group of health care providers, will welcome the opportunity to add MI to their toolkit. One might consider this practitioner-oriented book as a companion to a patient-oriented work such as Changing for Good (2007), by James Prochaska, John Norcross, and Carlo Diclemente. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level nursing and allied-health students, medical students, researchers, and practitioners. J. Clawson University of Central Missouri
