DESCRIPTION:
Walton, MSW, CSAC, Chief Operating Officer, National Association of Drug Court Professionals "Stinson and Clark beautifully illustrate an empirically guided intervention approach that is respectful of offenders' autonomy and capacity to change. In my view, this is one of the most important books of the decade on offender rehabilitation."--Tony Ward, PhD, School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. Sales, PhD, JD, ScD (h.c.), Virginia L. Everything one needs to apply MI
Using this evidence-based approach promotes successful rehabilitation and reentry by drawing on clients' values, goals, and strengths--not simply telling them what to do. From experts on working with court-mandated populations, this book shows how motivational interviewing (MI) can help offenders move beyond resistance or superficial compliance and achieve meaningful behavior change. The authors clearly describe the core techniques of MI and bring them to life with examples and sample dialogues from a range of criminal justice and forensic settings. Of crucial importance, the book addresses MI implementation in real-world offender service systems, including practical strategies for overcoming obstacles. This book is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series.
