From in-session behaviors to drinking outcomes: A causal chain for motivational interviewing.
Overview
This paper examines the relationship between therapist behaviors, client 'change talk,' and drinking outcomes within motivational interviewing sessions. The authors utilize behavioral coding to demonstrate that specific therapist actions predict client speech favoring change, which in turn mediates improvements in drinking outcomes. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians interested in the theoretical mechanisms underlying motivational interviewing efficacy.
