Title: Moral Re-Armament
Product review: Whenever I feel depressed about the effectiveness of the addiction treatment field and its wandering moral compass, I pull out my dog-eared copy of the First Edition of Miller and Rollnick's Motivational Interviewing and read the initial chapter (this chapter only appears in its original form in the FIRST edition, though). Suddenly, I am reminded of the values and principles that made me enter healthcare in the first place, and my spirit is refreshed and propelled forward for a couple more years. I have never read any passage that has resonated with me more, both professionally and personally. Its force of argument, clarity of moral vision, and dedication to evidence-based decision making is as historic in its influence as it is inspiring. I try to snap up as many copies of the first edition as I can find and afford, and give them to the young minds of promise I meet beginning their careers in the treatment of addiction.
