Self-determination theory in health care and its relations to motivational interviewing: a few comments
Overview
This paper reviews clinical trials on self-determination theory (SDT) and its intersection with motivational interviewing (MI), focusing on health behaviors like smoking cessation and weight loss. It clarifies that autonomy, rather than independence, is the central driver of effective change within SDT. The authors argue that while MI has shifted emphasis toward 'change talk,' this element remains effective only when supported by an autonomy-supportive approach.
