TLDR
In this paper, the authors examined the meaning of significant others in motivational interviewing (MI) sessions and found that family relationships are important and diverse factors that promote or hinder motivation to change in substance users' change talk.
Abstract
Only a very small number of studies have examined the meaning of significant others in motivational interviewing (MI) sessions. The aim of this qualitative study is to provide insights into substance users’ experience of the meaning of family in the change process and to expand current understanding about the significance of family relationships in change talk during MI. The analyses are based on videotaped data consisting of 98 MI sessions in the Finnish Probation Service. The results show that family relationships are important and diverse factors that promote or hinder motivation to change in substance users’ change talk.
