This cutting-edge experiential workbook invites practitioners to deepen their motivational interviewing (MI) skills through self-practice/self-reflection (SP/SR), a proven training method. From leading MI researchers and trainers, step-by-step modules guide readers to apply MI to a personal or professional challenge and systematically reflect on the experience. Instructions are given for working through the book independently, with peer partners, or in groups. Stories and examples of three traveling companions on the SP/SR journey bring the learning process to life. In a large-size format, the book includes a number of fill-in worksheets. The companion website offers helpful resources.
