The technical hypothesis of motivational interviewing: A meta-analysis of MI’s key causal model.
Overview
This meta-analysis evaluates the technical hypothesis of motivational interviewing by examining the relationship between therapist skills, client speech patterns, and subsequent behavioral outcomes across 12 studies. The resource details how MI-consistent skills correlate with increased change talk, while MI-inconsistent skills are linked to reduced change talk and increased sustain talk. It further reports that while client change talk alone did not predict follow-up outcomes in these specific analyses, sustain talk was associated with worse results, providing partial support for the proposed causal model.
