- Reviews -

"This highly accessible, practical text provides social workers with a wonderful introduction to the principles of MI. Through detailed case narratives and clinical discussions, Hohman and her colleagues illustrate how MI operationalizes essential social work ideas like client self-determination, strengths orientations, and client empowerment. While acknowledging the limitations of MI, Hohman makes a persuasive argument for its value as a client-centered, evidence-based approach to the helping process that is truly collaborative and culturally responsive. This text is an excellent source book for graduate-level advanced clinical practice courses. Its ideas are applicable to social work practice in a wide range of clinical settings, including substance abuse and health care."--Meredith Hanson, DSW, Graduate School of Social Service, Fordham University "This delightful book succeeds in putting MI into the context of social work education and practice. It explores the role of theory in MI, provides examples that are specific to social work, and clarifies how MI fits with social work values and ethics. The book closely examines the principles and skills of MI and provides plenty of practical sample interviews. I will use this book as a text in my master's-level social work courses. It will be a great resource for students as they begin to practice in a variety of settings."--Mary Marden Velasquez, PhD, Director, Health Behavior Research and Training Institute, School of Social Work, University of Texas at Austin; member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) "Finally there is a book that summarizes the vast literature on MI that is most relevant to social workers! What separates this from other MI books are the detailed descriptions of social workers' contributions to MI development and research and the discussion of how the model is consistent with social work values. Hohman has produced a remarkable book that is highly readable and chock full of interesting examples drawn from her personal journey learning MI and training others to use it. Social work educators will find this book very useful for a wide variety of practice classes."--Douglas C. Smith, PhD, LCSW, School of Social Work, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; member, Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) "Providing an accessible, practical description of why and how to integrate motivational interviewing (MI) into social work practice, this text offers an invaluable discussion of one of the most empirically supported intervention approaches in the field today. With the charge to move toward evidence-based practice in social work, beginning and advanced practitioners alike will appreciate the fact that MI has been tested in nearly 300 clinical outcome studies. Hohman and colleagues offer detailed transcripts and clinical vignettes that break down the MI process into discrete, readily learned chunks. Students in foundation and advanced courses on social work practice, addictions treatment, and health and mental health social work will benefit from learning how MI principles and techniques can be applied to address the real-world challenges of common clinical scenarios."--Eric L. Garland, PhD, LCSW, College of Social Work and Trinity Institute for the Addictions, Florida State University "I have been waiting for a book like this one. This much-needed volume will be of tremendous value to social workers who have struggled to engage and facilitate change in a broad range of client populations. It is rich with helpfully presented, annotated sample dialogues illustrating the skillful application of MI in social work contexts."--Andrew Hamid, PhD, School of Social Work, Columbia University
