Therapeutic change, innovative moments and the reconceptualization of the self ...

Innovative moments (IMs) are exceptions toward the problematic self-narrative that brought the client to therapy, which emerge in the therapeutic conversation. Dialogically, an IM might be conceived as an expression of an alternative I-position which challenges the dominance of problematic voices, thus having the potential to transform the self-narrative as they are expanded and elaborated. Reconceptualization ...

Maintenance and transformation of self-narratives in brief psychotherapy : theo...

Tese de doutoramento em Psicologia (ramo de conhecimento em Psicologia Clínica) ; This dissertation addresses the question of why people do not change. Specifically, one possible path to therapeutic failure is explored: how problematic self-stability can be maintained, throughout therapy, by a mutual in-feeding process, a form of ambivalence characterized by a cyclical movement between two opposing parts of th...

Dynamics of sense-making and development of the narrative in the clinical exchange

The present work is aimed at exploring the relationship between the dynamics of sense-making carried out by the clinical exchange and the content of the patient’s narrative. To this end the relationship between the formal and functional mapping of a psychotherapy carried out by the Discourse Flow Analysis (DFA) and the analysis of the patient’s narrative provided by the Innovative Moment Coding System (IMCS) ha...

Tracking novelties in psychotherapy process research : the innovative moments c...

This article presents a method for the assessment of innovative moments, which are novelties that emerge in contrast to a client’s problematic self-narrative as expressed in therapy, the innovative moments coding system (IMCS). The authors discuss the theoretical background of the IMCS as well as its coding procedures. Results from several studies suggest that the IMCS is a reliable and valid coding system that...

Narrative change in emotion-focused psychotherapy : a study on the evolution of...

Innovative moments (IMs) are exceptions to a client’s problematic self-narrative in the therapeutic dialogue. The innovative moments coding system is a tool which tracks five different types of IMs*action, reflection, protest, reconceptualization and performing change. An in-depth qualitative analysis of six therapeutic cases of emotion-focused therapy (EFT) investigated the role of two of the most common IMs*r...

The role of mutual in-feeding in maintaining problematic self-narratives : expl...

According to the author’s narrative model of change, clients may maintain a problematic self-stability across therapy, leading to therapeutic failure, by a mutual in-feeding process, which involves a cyclical movement between two opposing parts of the self. During innovative moments (IMs) in the therapy dialogue, clients’ dominant self-narrative is interrupted by exceptions to that self-narrative, but subsequen...

A dynamic look at narrative change in psychotherapy : a case-study using the st...

This study aims to further the understanding of how innovative moments (IMs), which are exceptions to a client’s problematic self-narrative in the therapy dialogue, progress to the construction of a new self-narrative, leading to successful psychotherapy. The authors’ research strategy involved tracking IMs, and the themes expressed therein (or protonarratives), and analysing the dynamic relation between IMs an...

Maintenance and transformation of problematic self-narratives : a semiotic-dial...

This study focus on how the emergence of novelties in psychotherapy, which we term Innovative Moments (IMs), progresses to the construction of a new self-narrative. Novelty’s emergence challenge a person’s dominant self-narrative (i.e., usual way of understanding and experiencing), generating uncertainty. Frequently, clients resolve the uncertainty, by attenuating the novelty’s meaning, making a quick return to...
