Review Quotes:
Frey and Hall have done something remarkable: added something entirely new to the MI world. Literally breathing life into the heartset of learning MI, this toolkit gently guides practitioners into a self-reflective and compassionate review of their practice and learning MI. Mental health providers have another must-add book for their libraries. --David B. Rosengren, President & CEO, Prevention Research Institute, Author of Building Motivational Interviewing Skills: A Practitioner Workbook
