Narrative therapy and the nature of “Innovative Moments” in the construction of...
Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Matos, Marlene; Santos, AnitaIn the narrative metaphor of psychotherapy, clients transform themselves by changing their life stories. According to White and Epston (1990), the construction of change occurs from the expansion of unique outcomesor innovative moments, as we prefer to call themthat is, the development of episodes outside the problem-saturated narrative. Unique outcomes operate as exceptions to the rule (i.e., to the problem-sa...
Innovative moments and change pathways: a good outcome case of narrative therapy
Santos, Anita; Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Matos, Marlene; Salvatore, SergioObjectives. Our aim was to explore the development of innovative moments (i-moments) in therapeutic conversation and to study how they match our heuristic model that accounts for the development of change, drawn from previous empirical research.Design. In this therapeutic process research, we analysed a good outcome case of narrative therapy with a woman victim of intimate violence.Methods. This case, composed ...
Innovative moments and change in narrative therapy
Matos, Marlene; Santos, Maria Anita Carvalho; Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Martins, C.Narrative therapy suggests that change happens by paying close attention in therapy to unique outcomes, which are narrative details outside the main story (White Epston, 1990). In this exploratory study, unique outcomes were analyzed in five good-outcome and five poor-outcome psychotherapy cases using the Innovative Moments Coding System (Goncalves, Matos, Santos, 2008). Across 127 sessions, innovative moments ...
Narrative change in emotion-focused therapy: how is change constructed through ...
Mendes, Inês; Ribeiro, António P.; Angus, Lynne; Greenberg, Leslie S; Sousa, Inês; Gonçalves, Miguel M.The aim of this study was to advance understanding of how clients construct their own process of change in effective therapy sessions. Toward this end, the authors applied a narrative methodological tool for the study of the change process in emotion-focused therapy (EFT), replicating a previous study done with narrative therapy (NT). The Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS) was applied to three good-outcome...
Innovation and stability within the dialogical self: The centrality of ambivalence
Ribeiro, António P.; Gonçalves, Miguel M.This commentary focuses on Ligorio's ( 2010) and O'Sullivan-Lago and de Abreu's ( 2010) work as an opportunity to elaborate upon discontinuity emergence and continuity restoration within the Dialogical Self. We depart from the pair rupture-transition as a unit of analysis for understanding the flow of change within the Dialogical Self and the centrality of ambivalence as a development catalyser to focus on the ...
Innovative moments and change in emotion-focused therapy: The case of Lisa
Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Mendes, Inês; Ribeiro, António P.; Angus, Lynne E.; Greenberg, Leslie S.This article presents an intensive analysis of a good-outcome case of emotion-focused therapythe case of Lisausing the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS). IMCS, influenced by narrative therapy, conceptualizes narrative change as resulting from the elaboration and expansion of narrative exceptions or unique outcomes to a client's core problematic self-narrative. IMCS identifies and tracks the occurrence of ...
Self-narrative reconstruction in psychotherapy: Looking at different levels of ...
Ribeiro, António P.; Bento, Tiago; Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Salgado, JoãoThis commentary focuses on Cross's (2010, this issue) work as an opportunity to elaborate upon how to study narrative-dialogical processes from the perspective of complexity. We start by elaborating on the notion that narrative development is a multidimensional activity that extends through several organizational levels and on the limitations of conventional research methods for narrative analysis. Following th...
Narrative change in emotion-focused psychotherapy: a study on the evolution of ...
Mendes, Inês; Ribeiro, António P.; Angus, Lynne E.; Greenberg, Leslie S.; Sousa, Inês; Gonçalves, Miguel M.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...
Maintenance and transformation of problematic self-narratives: a semiotic-dialo...
Ribeiro, António P.; Gonçalves, Miguel M.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...
