När ungdomar verkligen är motiverade att nå ett mål har de en energi, intensitet och förändringskapacitet som är svåröverträffad. Motivationen är nyckeln till förändring.Motiverande samtal – MI med tonåringar och unga vuxna beskriver hur man har framgångsrika samtal med ungdomar när man vill påverka deras beteende i något avseende. Det kan exempelvis handla om att få dem att undvika droger och alkohol, sluta röka eller att klara sitt skolarbete.Bokens första del beskriver de olika momenten och begreppen i metoden MI, med särskild betoning på hur man använder den med tonåringar och unga vuxna inom exempelvis skola, hälso- och sjukvård och socialtjänst. Den andra delen ger utförliga exempel på hur MI tillämpas i konkreta situationer som när det gäller missbruk, ätstörningar och skolproblem. I den avslutande tredje delen ges exempel på etiska frågeställningar och förslag till fortsatt övning i metoden.Boken vänder sig till studenter och yrkesverksamma inom psykologi och beteendevetenskap, socialt arbete, hälso- och sjukvård samt skola.
