Building Motivational Interviewing Skills is a practical, hands-on workbook designed to help clinicians master the core skills of Motivational Interviewing (MI), an evidence-based approach to promoting behavior change.

The 2nd edition offers updated exercises, case examples, and self-reflection activities that allow practitioners to actively build and refine MI competencies. It provides structured guidance on developing skills such as reflective listening, rolling with resistance, evoking motivation, and strengthening commitment to change.

This workbook is organized around real-world practice scenarios and includes tools for self-assessment, feedback, and skill tracking, making it ideal for both individual learners and training programs.

Essential for counselors, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and other helping professionals, this resource helps bridge the gap between theory and effective application of MI techniques.
