Handbook of Motivational Counseling

The Handbook of Motivational Counseling was widely acclaimed for its comprehensive coverage of the development of motivational problems, their proper identification, and the most effective treatment techniques. Since its initial publication, there has been much important new empirical research published on motivational counseling, including motivational assessment, intervention techniques, and exciting new areas of clinical applications. The Second Edition reflects all of the latest innovative developments in this rapidly evolving field. 

Drawing upon an international team of contributors, editors W. Miles Cox and Eric Klinger take all of the new theoretical developments and practical treatment techniques into consideration to present the most comprehensive and updated guide to how motivational problems develop, how they can be identified, and how they can be corrected. In addition to the significant revision of all existing chapters to reflect recent developments, five are new, encompassing motive-based approaches, motivational counseling with the dually diagnosed, cognitive and motivational retraining, meaning-centered counseling, and motivation in sport. 

The Handbook of Motivational Counseling, Second Edition, is an invaluable resource for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, social workers, nurses, general practitioners, those in training, and all whose work involves helping to motivate people to change.
