New approach to behavior change geared toward individual practitioners.
That is the prescription of at least one expert who contends that common practitioner behaviors actually build up resistance to change in their chronically ill patients.

In fact, he has developed a road map or process that he says can turn what he calls "fix it" practitioners into "motivational" practitioners.
