Abstract This paper aims to describe the Innovative Moments (IM) Coding System (IMCS), an idiographic and transtheoretical methodology that allows identification of IMs—markers changes in client's initial maladaptive framework meaning—throughout psychotherapy. The present study introduces theoretical background underlying this methodology, along with main empirical findings resulting from former studies have applied tool clinical data. IMCS application is also detailed: coding phases,...
Ambivalence in the process of psychotherapeutic change should be addressed and resolved if we are to avoid failure promote sustained change. In this context, ambivalence can defined as cyclical conflictual relation between two opposed positions self: one expressed an innovation, a subsequent trivialization or rejection innovation (problematic position). This conflict may different ways: (a) dominance innovative position consequent inhibition problematic (b) negotiation positions. study,...
Objective Innovative moments (IMs) are in which the previous problematic pattern of meaning is challenged. Studies have shown that IMs associated with good psychotherapy outcomes. A three-level hierarchy was observed recent studies, level 1 being more elementary and levels 2 3 complex treatment success. However, studies manualized protocol treatments thus far lacking. This study analyzed longitudinal progression Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment Emotional Disorders (UP) explored...
Reliable and systematic qualitative methodologies to assess participants' change after group interventions are scarce. This study outlines a methodolo5gical approach use in focus groups, allowing the elicitation coding of talk intervention. A Change Elicitation Script for Focus Groups was developed its viability evoking discussion around tested. Following self-compassion intervention teachers, dialogue examined three groups following simplified version Innovative Moments Coding System...
Patient ambivalence towards change is a central therapeutic target in the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP). However, we do not know if and how patients resolve across sessions modules UP. Previous studies have identified two types resolution—dominance negotiation—and different patterns resolution recovered unchanged cases. Objectives: This exploratory single case study aimed to describe frequency observed strategies UP evaluate impact distinct on...
In psychotherapy, ambivalence may be conceptualized as a conflict between two distinct motivations: one that is favorable to change (pro-change) and another favors the maintenance of problematic pattern (pro status quo). Previous studies identified processes by which clients resolve this conflict: imposing innovative part silencing (dominance), establishing negotiations pro quo parts (negotiation). The present exploratory study examined resolution in sample diagnosed with complicated grief....
