Editorial Reviews
Review
"This is a book that many of us have been anticipating for a long time. MI is one of a small number of true evidence-based (and strengths-based!) success stories in offender rehabilitation. This book brings the technique alive in a way that I hope will transform theory and practice in the field."--Shadd Maruna, PhD, Professor of Criminology, University of Manchester, United Kingdom
"Comprehensive, practical, and easy to read. Motivational Interviewing with Offenders addresses all aspects of the offender change process--assessment, treatment, case management, and supervision. Everything one needs to apply MI is contained in this book. It should be mandatory reading for clinicians; students and interns; parole, probation, and correctional officers; residential staff members; and program administrators and supervisors. Even the most experienced change agent will benefit from the book's respectful approach and plentiful, very helpful examples."--Pamela M. Yates, PhD, Cabot Consulting and Research Services, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
"Whether you deliver direct treatment or offender supervision services, manage programs responsible for achieving improved offender outcomes, or design systemwide interventions to improve public safety, this refreshingly readable book articulates a proven way forward. While a court may order treatment, it cannot order lasting change--commitment to real change and long-term recovery is always a choice. This book outlines the essentials for helping an offender to make that choice and move from conflict, to compliance, to commitment. I highly recommend it for anyone working with justice system–involved individuals, and especially those working in treatment courts."--Terrence D. Walton, MSW, CSAC, Chief Operating Officer, National Association of Drug Court Professionals
"Stinson and Clark beautifully illustrate an empirically guided intervention approach that is respectful of offenders' autonomy and capacity to change. They convincingly demonstrate how MI is able to provide people who have committed crimes with the internal and external resources to enhance their quality of life and reduce the chances of further harm to the community. The book is beautifully written, scholarly, and accessible to practitioners, policymakers, and researchers. In my view, this is one of the most important books of the decade on offender rehabilitation."--Tony Ward, PhD, School of Psychology, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
"Motivational Interviewing (MI) has a natural home in serving society’s most marginalized people, and perhaps no group fits that description as well as sexual offenders….The book presents many practical examples of how to incorporate the spirit of MI into a variety of aspects of sex offender treatment and management, from the first contact with the sex offender to management of them in the community. There is a good balance between practical information and the philosophy behind MI and the rationale for applying it to sex offenders….I would recommend this book to practitioners of all levels of experience and skill. For new therapists, the material is presented in a way that is easily understandable and practical. For the seasoned veteran this book will provide new and different ways to engage clients and remind us to think of our clients as being more than just their offending.” ― Association for the Treatment of Sexual Offenders (ATSA) Forum Published On: 2018-08-14

- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2018Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis is a great primer for anyone unfamiliar with MI and for those familiar but interested in its use within corrections. The authors present the topic with correctional staff as their main audience, and make a solid evidence based argument for the use of MI with reentry individuals. I personally used this book for a research project on MI in social work on the topic of reentry and corrections. It was very informative, easy to read, evidence based, and provided wonderful considerations to bear in mind as a professional in various disciplines working with incarcerated or recently released individuals. The text provides a thorough explanation of MI, its intent, examples of use, and speaks to specifically to rehabilitaion with a client focus that is a refreshing change in criminal justice treatment modalities. An excellent text.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2021Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis was a great book! It reviewed MI in detail and applied it to settings for professionals working with offenders. As a new psychology professional in the corrections setting I found it to be very helpful.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2019Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThis book is at the professional level but could be used by anyone. As a case manager and teacher in a correctional environment (adult male prison) I found a lot of helpful interesting information that could be used in job and sometimes my social situations.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI am a caseworker with more than 50 parolees on caseload. I have read other MI books but this book has been the best because it shows you how to use MI with parolees, uses scenarios that come up with this population and gives examples of what to say to work collaborative with client instead of for client. Conversations are with purpose and with sometimes having only 5 minutes to speak to a parolee I want to make sure what I say is worth parolees time. I recommend this book to anyone working with incarcerated or supervised population.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseGreat book! Used for a graduate research paper. Lots if good insight.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseThe book is okay nothing grand. I work with sexual offenders and it basically talks about using a client centered approach which I do. But it wasn’t helpful at making me a better therapist. Disappointed. Hardly any activities in it. Maybe one if that and hardly had questions to ask offenders. The best book for working with sexual offenders is a workbook called “the road to freedom”. Even if you just do forensic counseling with offenders it’s not that helpful. Maybe it will be for you because it does explain what motivational interviewing is.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2019Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseVery helpful book. Direct and informative. Great for Probation professionals.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseI work in field of probation and MI is being encouraged. Loved that this book was from a criminal justice standpoint. Have recommended book to many co-workers.
