“A practical, user-friendly resource for practitioners and students interested in developing MI techniques using a weight-neutral approach. Educators searching for appropriate textbooks to adopt would find this a beneficial addition to the classroom.”
—Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior (on the first edition)
“It is a useful tool and resource for new and seasoned healthcare professionals alike.”
—Doody's Review Service (on the first edition)
“Behavior change is complex, and the authors brilliantly unpack this complexity. This book provides tangible, ready-to-use language, making it easier to translate MI principles into practice. Practitioners can use the real-life examples to critically analyze and break down the differences between an MI and a non-MI communication approach and relate these dialogues and scenarios to their practice. The book challenges readers to reflect on their own growth while offering strategies to enhance client autonomy, confidence, and engagement for both individual and group sessions. If you want to truly support your clients in meaningful ways, this book is essential.”
—Joyce Faraj-Ardura PhD, MS, RDN, LDN, private practice, The Nutrition Counseling Academy
“The second edition of this excellent, compelling book provides needed tools for students, interns, and professionals in fields that provide nutrition and fitness counseling. What makes this book special is its focus on weight inclusivity and a non-diet approach to nutrition and fitness, so often left out of other guidebooks. And what makes it extraordinary is the compassion, respect, and kindness presented throughout. By offering the connection that clients so desperately need, and honoring their autonomy and internal wisdom, practitioners learn how to motivate clients to access their reasons for change, their goals, and their values. Using MI can help clients make sustainable, lifelong changes that lead to increased well-being.”
—Elyse Resch, MS, RDN, CEDS-S, FAND, nutrition therapist; co-creator of Intuitive Eating
