Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Fitness

Applications of Motivational Interviewing

By: Dawn Clifford, Laura Curtis

Narrated by: Kathleen Godwin

Making and maintaining lasting changes in nutrition and fitness is not easy for anyone. Yet the communication style of a health professional can make a huge difference. This audiobook presents the proven counseling approach known as motivational interviewing (MI) and shows exactly how to use it in day-to-day interactions with clients. MI offers simple yet powerful tools for helping clients work through ambivalence, break free of diets and quick-fix solutions, and overcome barriers to change. Extensive sample dialogues illustrate specific ways to enhance conversations about meal planning and preparation, exercise, body image, disordered eating, and more. Reproducible forms and handouts can be downloaded and printed in a convenient 8 1/2 x 11 size. Instructors requesting a desk copy from Guilford will be emailed a link to supplemental PowerPoint slides and exam questions.

This audiobook is in the Applications of Motivational Interviewing series, edited by Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Theresa B. Moyers.

Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Fitness is wonderfully narrated by Kathleen Godwin. All figures and handouts referenced in the audiobook are included in the supplementary PDF, which is available for download with purchase of the audiobook.

Good example

I love the examples along de concept. It helps how to use the technique when they showed with some similarities. Great book to add to my practice thank you

Read for a class on nutrition

This book is good for anyone who helps people by motivating them. Some sample conversations felt a bit unnatural to me but you can take out what feels natural for you and forget the rest. I think it will be useful in more than just nutrition and exercise counseling. it was nice to have the paperback book for reference in addition to the audio.

mind blown

my mind is blown, I am definitely going to be listening to this again soon to be able to soak all of it up. I have already started putting some of this into practice and it's life changing

Very Informative and I recommend it!

a good read for anyone in the fitness and nutrition fields...a really great new way to help clients.

Great resource

A very good resource book. Hard copy needed for reference and for details unseen. Thanks.
