Dr. James (Jim) Husen reads from Miller & Rollnick's "Motivational Interview" (2nd Ed.)

 I have been wanting to read Miller & Rollnick's Motivational Interviewing: Preparing People for Change (preparing myself for change) since I was in my Master's Program studying Counseling Psychology at California Baptist University in Riverside. With an upcoming seminar I plan to attend on the topic, I thought it a good time to read the book. It's going to be an effort because as I peruse the book before reading it, I note there are 45+ contributing authors in addition to Miller and Rollnick. The book contains four parts with 25 chapters. That means to finish the book by Friday, May 6, 2022, I'll need to read about two chapters a day.

To cite the book use the following APA citation:

Miller, W. R., & Rollnick, S. (2002). Motivational interviewing (2nd ed.). New York: Guilford Press.

Attachment Trauma in Divorce

Childhood sexual abuse can in some cases particularly disorganize the growing child’s attachment system resulting in among other things for some, an ability to lie about other caregivers. In the link below I explore this observation in my practice as an attorney and now as a psychologist. In saying that, I do not mean to minimize in any way the harm caused to the child or the importance of protecting such children from further harm. The link below will take you to a paper I wrote about 9 years ago but still think it pretty good where I offer some ideas that I explored back in 2013 as an attorney working with families back then. Husen, J. (2013). Attachment trauma in divorce: Recommendations for judges, lawyers, and child custody evaluators. Paper researched and written for Bereavement Counseling with M. Woodruff Johnson, Psy.D.
