Synopsis

Someone Good to Talk To is a friendly and astute companion to join you on your travels as a helping professional and practitioner of Motivational Interviewing (MI).

MI is a client-centred, respectful communication style for conversations about change. The approach is evidence-based and used across a wide range of presenting issues, professions and settings.

Learning MI takes time, practice and some guidance. This book offers a concise collection of short reflections from a deeply experienced teacher of MI and shares practical insights on the foundations of effective conversations:

  • Collaboration and the helping relationship
  • Guiding principles
  • The role of meaning in behaviour change
  • The nature of the change process
  • Useful skills
  • Transferring ideas to practice
  • Sustaining ongoing learning.

Written for both novice practitioners seeking guidance and more experienced professionals wanting to refresh their practice, Someone Good to Talk To is an encouraging and thought-provoking resource on the path to richer, more meaningful and more productive conversations.
