Motivational Interviewing in Health Care (CHES)

This course is only for CHES practitioners.

Good advice alone is not enough when it comes to helping patients manage chronic and acute conditions and make healthier choices in such areas as diet, and preventive care. “This indispensable book shows how to use MI techniques to transform conversations about change. Even the briefest clinical interaction can serve to build trust, clarify patients' goals as well as reasons for ambivalence, and guide them to take positive steps. Vivid sample dialogues, tips, and scripts illustrate ways to incorporate this evidence-based approach into diverse health care settings.”

Quote

Whether you are a health care professional-in-training or an experienced practitioner, this book is for you! The second edition is chock-full of information on current everyday challenges in a busy practice, including weight loss, addressing multiple behavior changes, working with hostile patients, and using MI remotely. This book can help you rediscover the joys of clinical work and prevent burnout by using MI to create more satisfying, efficient, and effective patient conversations. — Melanie A. Gold, DO, DMQ, Professor of Pediatrics and Population and Family Health, Columbia University Irving Medical Center

As an internist, when I first learned MI, a colleague suggested that I try it with patients who had uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension, the bread and butter of my practice. Only then did I see the opportunity to sprinkle MI into every primary care interaction. This wonderful book provides scenarios relevant to diverse medical specialties and settings, helping clinicians to immediately apply the spirit, processes, and powerful skills of MI. — Damara Gutnick, MD, Departments of Family and Social Medicine; Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences; and Epidemiology and Population Health, The Albert Einstein College of Medicine
