Motivierende Gesprächsführung mit Jugendlichen und jungen Er

Adolescents and young adults often approach the changes that need to be addressed in therapy with ambivalence and doubt. A lack of willingness to engage in conversation or a defensive attitude are common consequences. Naar-King and Suarez explain the principles and concrete implementation of motivational interviewing through numerous examples. The goal is to highlight the discrepancies between the young clients' actual values and goals and their current behavior. This enhances the desire of adolescents to work on their behavior with the help of the therapist. The necessary communication strategies are clearly presented in the book.
