Beskrivning
Drawing on 20 years of practical experience, research and teaching in the field, this book is a comprehensive guide on the use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) in child protection and family social work. MI increases the likelihood of behavioural change, working with client resistance to encourage a constructive environment when initiating difficult conversations. This makes it particularly effective for child and family social care. Drawing on over 500 studies spanning 11 local authorities, this book uses recordings of real meetings between social workers and families to explain what MI is, how it can be used in child and family social work and how to improve MI skills.An invaluable resource for frontline child protection and family social workers, this book will enable to help you to better understand the needs of the people you support and be more effective in providing the right kind of support.

Recensioner i media

There are few books out there that take a difficult subject like child and family social work and give due attention to exactly what skilful professional practice looks like. This book does just that. To work for 20 years on helpfulness is a considerable achievement and to do this by observing, and listening to practitioners means that social workers now have access to a classic text. If you want to develop your skills then this is a book to consult and to treasure.
