Meeting in the middle: motivational interviewing and self-determination theory
Overview
This paper discusses the development of motivational interviewing (MI) as a bottom-up model rooted in clinical practice rather than pre-existing theory. The authors describe their preference for deriving hypotheses from intuitive experience and scientific verification over rational deduction. The text highlights the historical context of MI's emergence from alcohol treatment without proposing a formal underlying theory of change.
