About our Lending Library

The 3 south bay SMART Recovery Meetings in the South Bay (San Jose Monday & Wednesday, and Los Gatos Friday), run a Netflix-style lending library out of the meetings. It basically works like this:

A number of the books to the right are a part of our lending library. If you are interested in borrowing one, come to any of the above-mentioned meetings on Mon-Weds-Fri. Ask any meeting facilitator about the book you are interested in, and we will procure it from our lending library, and bring it to the next meeting. Just give us a small cash deposit for the book, and keep it as long as you need to read it. Whenever you want you can swap it out with any facilitator for another book in our lending library. When you're done using our library we will refund you your deposit.

We feel this is a very useful service to offer and encourage our local SMART Recovery member to take advantage of this.

Books that are not listed as "Available in Lending Library" are still good reads and we recommend them, all books have links to online booksellers for purchase.

 
Motivational Interviewing, Second Edition

book image Motivational Interviewing, Second Edition: Preparing People for Change
William R. Miller Phd, Stephen Rollnick PhD, William R. Miller, Stephen Rollnick

Since the initial publication of this breakthrough work, motivational interviewing (MI) has been used by countless clinicians. Theory and methods have evolved apace, reflecting new knowledge on the process of behavior change, a growing body of outcome research, and the development of new applications within and beyond the addictions field. Extensively rewritten, this revised and expanded second edition now brings MI practitioners and trainees fully up to date. William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick explain how to work through ambivalence to facilitate change, present detailed guidelines for using their approach, and reflect on the process of learning MI. Chapters contributed by other leading experts then address such special topics as MI and the stages-of-change model, applications in medical, public health, and criminal justice settings, and using the approach with groups, couples, and adolescents.
