Product Description

Review
"The book is engaging and practical, written by professionals who have theoretical understanding of behavior change and more importantly, the wisdom that comes from years of facilitating positive behavior change in their patients. This book should be required reading for every health care professional ." "Mary Marden Velasquez Ph.D," University of Houston
something you can pick up and then use the next day? This is it! A fine little book, this is a must read for people working in the health care professions ." "David B Rosengren, Ph.D," University of Washington
invaluable resource for both the most seasoned primary health care professionals as well as students of clinical health psychology, medical social work, nurse education, and general medicine. Three cheers to Drs. Rollnick, Mason, and Butler!!" "Gary Rose, Ph.D," Harvard School of Medicine
outstandingly helpful and practical book for health professionals ." "William R Miller, Ph.D," University of New Mexico
absorbing book, written by a clinical psychologist, a nurse and a GP, challenges the ways in which we are taught to advise patients on health promotion matters and shows the doctor how such advice could be delivered more effectively." "Dr Jeremy M Sager," familymedicine.co.uk, May 1999
nuts and bolts of how to help patients change their behaviour from the experts an invaluable guide for counsellors who are increasingly asked to work with patients with chronic medical conditions." "Dr Graham Curtis Jenkins, Director, Counselling in Primary Care Trust," January 2001
thoughtful, practical guide that deserves to be read by a whole host of health practitioners. I am recommending it to my colleagues and studentsinterested in health behaviour change as required reading." "Carlo C Diclemente," Tobacco Control, vol 9, January 2000
most exciting contribution is that it gives readers specific guidelines on how to apply theories to everyday practice. It is hard to imagine a reader who would come away from this book without concrete ideas on how to improve encounters with clients." "Betsy D Foy and Scott T Walters," Health Promotion Practice, vol 2, , October 2001

Product Description
The book offers a description and demonstration of a method for changing health behaviours based on brief negotiation with clients. It is written in a very stimulating style, engaging the reader from the first page. After an introductory section, the fundamental principles behind the method are explored. The third section deals with application. Client scenarios and snippets from practitioner/client interactions are used throughout the book to illustrate practical applications of theoretical points.

4.0 out of 5 stars Commen sense approach to working with behaviour change., 22 April 2001
By A Graham (Quarrington Hill, Durham United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
After attending a workshop with one of the authors Stephen Rollnick as the trainer I quickly became hooked on the commen sense approach which he developed to work with behaviour change. As a person centred trained counsellor this model fits perfectly with the core of Rogerian counselling but with the added tool of being slightly more directive without being in control. For anyone who works with clients requiring some form of change to their lifestyle I can highly recomend this book. It's layout is very inviting to read and the content keeps you eager to read on and soak up the information, I found it hard to put down once opened!
