Improving patient outcomes with motivational interviewing
Motivational Interviewing for Health Care
Professionals: A Sensible Approach
Bruce A. Berger and William A. Villaume
Featured in
Motivational Interviewing for Health Care Professionals: A Sensible Approach
presents a new way of teaching the theory and practice of motivational interviewing
(MI) to health care professionals (HCPs). MI has been shown to improve treatment
adherence and outcomes, promote health behavior change, improve patient
satisfaction with care, and increase retention rates in complex case management.
This book describes how everyday persuasive language and strategies can trigger
resistance in patients and explains how this opposition can be overcome through
building rapport with the patient and listening to the patient’s reasoning and
concerns.

The author notes in the preface that, ‘No one should ever lose their vision because it is difficult for
pharmacists to find the information or a compounded medication is not properly prepared according to
USP standards.... Patients deserve to receive quality compounded preparations.’ I couldn’t agree more,
and such a complete reference on ophthalmics is long overdue. I donated my copy to the hospital
pharmacist at our institution, and strongly feel that any pharmacy that prepares ophthalmics should
have this book.

This book is also a satisfactory representation of a U.S. college or school of pharmacy’s curriculum.
It can clearly be an aid to anyone preparing for the FPGEE. However, because of its comprehensive
nature and the inclusion of convenient, concise appendices, it also may be valuable to those preparing
for the NAPLEX, or serve as a reference tool for practicing pharmacists. The text’s in-depth social,
behavioral, and administrative pharmacy sciences section may prove to be exceptionally helpful to
those preparing for the FPGEE as it is thorough and comprehensive coverage of what is typically the
most difficult for graduates of foreign pharmacy schools to master.
