Motivational Interviewing: moving from why to how with autonomy support
Overview
This paper provides an overview of Motivational Interviewing (MI), detailing its theoretical origins and core clinical strategies such as reflective listening and eliciting change talk. It explores the relationship between MI and Self-Determination Theory and addresses the challenge of transitioning from building motivation to action-oriented planning. The authors propose a three-phase model to guide practitioners in moving from 'why' to 'how' within a patient-centered framework.
