Customer Reviews

Commen sense approach to working with behaviour change.
After attending a workshop with one of the authors Stephen Rollnick as the trainer I quickly became hooked on the commen sense approach which he developed to work with behaviour change. As a person centred trained counsellor this model fits perfectly with the core of Rogerian counselling but with the added tool of being slightly more directive without being in control. For anyone who works with clients requiring some form of change to their lifestyle I can highly recomend this book. It's layout is very inviting to read and the content keeps you eager to read on and soak up the information, I found it hard to put down once opened!

Health Behavior Change
I was very disappointed with the condition of this book when I received it. It was classified as in "good" condition, but there are many pages that have highlighted sections with underlinings and the corners of the pages turned down. The content of the book is excellent and very helpful.
