Mapping the dialogue of change: A systematic review of sequential and moment-to-moment dynamics in psychotherapy. Psychotherapy Research, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1080/10503307.2025.25652371050-33071468-4381https://hdl.handle.net/11268/16427This systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42023399665) synthesized evidence from process-based microanalytic studies investigating therapist–client verbal exchanges in psychotherapy, focusing on sequential and timeseries patterns. Although outcomes were not directly assessed, findings suggest that therapist-client verbal interaction systematicity relates to in-session change. To enhance microanalytic research, we argue for a bottom-up approach emphasizing detailed, AI-assisted descriptions of therapist–client interactions before applying theory-driven sequential analyses.engjournal article10.1080/10503307.2025.2565237embargoed accessCiencias médicasPsicoterapiaInteligencia artificialGoal 3: Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all agesGoal 4: Quality educationGoal 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries
