"This book is an excellent introduction to the general principles
of MI, as well as specific strategies and techniques. The examples
and scripts very clearly illustrate the use of MI in counseling for
dietary and physical activity behavior change. As a Registered
Dietitian, I especially liked the chapter on nutrition counseling,
with its many extended scripts and ideas. The basic philosophy of
MI is woven throughout the book, and it is a delight!"--Ellen
Glovsky, PhD, RD, LDN, Department of Health Sciences, Northeastern
University; member, Motivational Interviewing Network of
Trainers
"This book fills a void in the education of nutrition and exercise
professionals. Professors and students will welcome its
comprehensive and practical approach to the powerful process of MI.
Even the most experienced professional will find useful ideas to
apply in practice. Return again and again to gain skill and to
boost confidence in guiding clients to make real changes."--Molly
Kellogg, RD, LCSW, private practice, Philadelphia; member,
Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers
"What a special book. Bar none, it is the most practical applied
book I have encountered on how to use MI in nutrition and physical
fitness counseling. The scenarios are easy to follow, and the
authors are very careful to integrate MI with existing professional
protocols. Up to date and refreshing, the book advocates
weight-neutral mindful eating over traditional weight-focused
nutritional counseling, and replaces exercising for its own sake
with the idea of joyful physical activity. Parts of the book could
be used in either nutrition or fitness courses, and it will serve
as a stand-alone text in professional practice courses."--Don
Morrow, PhD, School of Kinesiology, University of Western Ontario,
Canada
"Provides excellent insights into MI and valuable guidance on how
to implement it. The authors write in an accessible and engaging
way, and include useful patient–practitioner dialogues throughout
to illustrate important points. This book will appeal not only to
practitioners and teachers, but also to students at all levels who
want to gain practical knowledge about the use of MI in a clinical
context."--Rachel Clare Povey, PhD, CPsychol, Centre for Health
Psychology, Staffordshire University, United Kingdom
"Clifford and Curtis masterfully combine theory, practice, and
research in this engaging book. The authors capture complex ideas
in rich, realistic dialogues between practitioners and their
clients. The style makes reading and comprehension easy. In their
engaging flow from theory to practice, Clifford and Curtis guide
readers toward an integrated awareness of the MI process as applied
to issues of nutrition and fitness. This is a great book that helps
readers 'get' the core concepts of MI and how to implement them in
this area of health behavior change."--James Gavin, PhD, Department
of Applied Human Sciences, Concordia University, Montreal, Québec,
Canada
"Clifford and Curtis have created a great resource for training
future consultants on applying the principles of MI to nutrition
and fitness. The authors marry sound theory (transtheoretical
model, self-determination theory) to applied practice to inform
this 'how-to' guide. The book is full of helpful conversation
examples and reproducible handouts that will aid the learning
process. A major strength is that the authors' work is grounded in
the Health at Every Size paradigm. Highly recommended!"--Linda A.
Keeler, EdD, CC-AASP, Associate Professor of Sport and Exercise
Psychology, Western Washington University -The MI perspective
teaches practitioners to position sessions in a way that inspires
clients to take ownership of their health by prioritizing changes
clients feel are most important. A broad audience of health
professionals, students, and interns will find this book a thorough
resource and guide to the strategies essential to MI….This
publication is generous with helpful practitioner–client scenarios
and an appendix of counseling and MI resources. Downloadable
handouts are a particularly valuable component of this book….At
first read, the practitioner will have a good idea of how to
incorporate MI in practice. Subsequent readings will allow
practitioners to further develop and hone in on their techniques.
Motivational Interviewing in Nutrition and Fitness is 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, 1/1/2016ƒƒIt is a useful tool and resource
for new and seasoned healthcare professionals alike.--Doody's
