""The book is well-structured and easy to read, with information presented in manageable sections. Key points are highlighted using bullet points and case studies, avoiding the overwhelm that dense blocks of text can sometimes create. The writing is engaging and practical, making it a valuable resource for those new to motivational interviewing, as well as those seeking to refine their skills. The inclusion of ‘practical’ in the title is well justified — the book delivers on this by providing concrete examples and equipping readers with the tools to apply motivational interviewing effectively in real-world settings."" - Grace Carroll, Lecturer in Animal Behaviour and Welfare, School of Psychology, Queen’s University Belfast. Review published in Animal Welfare (Cambridge, Vol 34, Mar 2025) ""The skills covered in this book - which were taught to me by the author - have had the single biggest impact of anything I have learned in over two decades of working in animal welfare"" - Sam Chubbock, Head of UK Support, World Horse Welfare (from the foreword)
