"Motivational Interviewing in HIV Care, edited by Antoine Douaihy and K. Rivet Amico, is a comprehensive, well referenced handbook that is helpful for any practitioner interested in incorporating motivational interviewing into their HIV practice. This book covers not only the basics of how to perform motivational interviewing, but also provides specific examples illustrating methods to help patients with HIV infection engage in care, adhere to their antiretroviral regimen and effectively deal with substance use. The collection of experts who have authored each chapter provide an evidence-based approach with ample examples of demonstration projects which have successfully leveraged motivational interviewing techniques to help patients with HIV infection succeed with their care." -- Jamie Riddell IV, MD, Clinical Professor, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Infectious Diseases, Michigan Medicine, University of Michigan "Motivational Interviewing in HIV Care nicely illustrates that engaging patients in meaningful conversations while examining personal health behavior adjustments can improve adherence to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and antiretroviral therapy (ART) while offering healthy lifestyle choices. The "Stages in Learning Motivational Interviewing" assists practitioners in their assessment of the time, commitment and training needed to become proficient in this method of care. The reader gains a thorough understanding of the benefits, challenges and ethical implications surrounding the motivational interviewing counseling method. Motivational Interviewing in HIV Care offers practical methods that can be used alone or in conjunction with other modalities to develop positive patient relationships and treatment outcomes.

Mellors, M.D., Chief, Division of Infectious Diseases, Endowed Chair for Elimination of HIV and AIDS, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine "The editors of this book, along with the expert authors, have brought together the broad literature on MI and skillfully applied it to the HIV continuum of care. Beginning with a thorough orientation, the text provides clinicians with an understanding of the key elements of MI, applies MI to a variety of clinical scenarios, and offers case examples to highlight interviewing techniques. The remaining chapters provide evidence and potential applications of MI to the entire HIV continuum, including linkage and engagement in care as well as medication adherence, and then expand to address special populations, HIV co-morbidities and several ethical considerations. This book provides a valuable resource to any HIV practitioner wishing to learn about MI, or improve their existing skills with patients." -- Sybil Hosek, PhD, Clinical Psychologist/Director of Research, Department of Psychiatry, Stroger Hospital of Cook County, Chicago, IL.
