"A superb job of describing and demonstrating the use of MI with clients involved in the juvenile justice system. This will be very useful for those working with juvenile clients who are looking to utilize or increase their use of this effective communication method. "
Melinda Hohman, Ph.D, author, Motivational Interviewing in Social Work Practice, Director, SDSU School of Social Work
"An excellent complement to classroom training because it provide demonstrations as well as explanations of how to use MI skills in longer contact sessions with young people in the juvenile justice system, as well as brief interactions when time is very limited. Includes numerous examples of rolling with resistance, reflective listening, eliciting change talk, along with affirmations (OARS), elicit/provide/elicit, and planning for positive change."

"This video should be in every counselorā€™s toolkit! After 40 years of counseling teenagers, I welcome how this powerful video captures the benefits of MI conversations with teenagers facing serious complex problems. The video-recorded sessions provide an excellent contrast between MI compliant and MI noncompliant (traditional therapy) counseling and how the therapist repaired the ruptured relationship. The MI peer supervision session is a bonus for supervisors and counselor educators. "
