In the high-stakes world of clinical practice, getting patients to change their behaviour is one of medicine's most persistent and consequential challenges — and Motivational Interviewing in Health Care presents a rigorously tested, compassionate framework to meet it head-on. Stephen Rollnick, William R. Miller, and Christopher C. Butler draw on decades of clinical research to adapt the powerful principles of Motivational Interviewing (MI) specifically for healthcare settings, guiding practitioners through evidence-based conversational techniques that activate a patient's own intrinsic motivation rather than relying on instruction or persuasion alone. The book chronicles the full spectrum of patient interactions — from brief consultations to complex chronic disease management — illustrating how clinicians across all disciplines can apply MI to address smoking, diet, medication adherence, exercise, and beyond. Beyond its practical toolkit, this work argues for a fundamental shift in the clinician-patient relationship, one grounded in empathy, collaboration, and respect for patient autonomy. Miller and Rollnick, the original architects of Motivational Interviewing, bring an authoritative yet accessible voice to a text that has become essential reading in medical schools, nursing programmes, and allied health training worldwide. Butler's contribution grounds the theory firmly in the realities of primary care, lending the work a clinical immediacy that resonates with frontline practitioners. For anyone who has ever wondered why patients don't simply follow good advice, this book uncovers the profound psychological truth beneath that question — and offers a far more effective answer.
