Abstract International comparisons were conducted of preschool children's behavioral and emotional problems as reported on the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1½–5 by parents in 24 societies (N = 19,850). Item ratings aggregated into scores syndromes; Diagnostic Statistical Manual Mental Disorders–oriented scales; a Stress Problems scale; Internalizing, Externalizing, Total scales. Effect sizes scale score differences among ranged from small to medium (3–12%). Although differed greatly...
In the narrative metaphor of psychotherapy, clients transform themselves by changing their life stories. According to White and Epston (1990) White, M. Epston, D. 1990. Narrative means therapeutic ends, New York: Norton. [Google Scholar], construction change occurs from expansion unique outcomes—or innovative moments, as we prefer call them—that is, development episodes outside problem-saturated narrative. Unique outcomes operate exceptions rule (i.e., story) that can be changed a new...
Abstract This article presents a method for the assessment of innovative moments, which are novelties that emerge in contrast to client's problematic self-narrative as expressed therapy, moments coding system (IMCS). The authors discuss theoretical background IMCS well its procedures. Results from several studies suggest is reliable and valid can be applied modalities psychotherapy. Finally, future research implications discussed.
Background. The quality and strength of the therapeutic collaboration, core alliance, is reliably associated with positive therapy outcomes. urgent challenge for clinicians researchers constructing a conceptual framework to integrate dialectical work that fosters model how clients make progress in therapy. Aim. We propose account collaboration becomes therapeutic. In addition, we report on construction coding system – (TCCS) designed analyse track moment-by-moment basis interaction between...
Narrative therapy suggests that change happens by paying close attention in to "unique outcomes," which are narrative details outside the main story (White & Epston, 1990). In this exploratory study, unique outcomes were analyzed five good-outcome and poor-outcome psychotherapy cases using Innovative Moments Coding System (Gonçalves, Matos, Santos, 2008). Across 127 sessions, innovative moments coded terms of salience type. accordance with theory, results suggest important therapeutic...
Background: Systematic studies of the efficacy Narrative Therapy (NT) for depression are sparse. Objective: To evaluate individual NT moderate in adults compared to Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT). Method: Sixty-three depressed clients were assigned either or CBT. The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and Outcome Questionnaire-45.2 (OQ-45.2) used as outcome measures. Results: We found a significant symptomatic reduction both treatments. Group differences favoring CBT on BDI-II, but not...
This study tested societal effects on caregiver/teacher ratings of behavioral/emotional problems for 10,521 preschoolers from 15 societies. Many societies had problem scale scores within a relatively narrow range, despite differences in language, culture, and other characteristics. The small age gender were quite similar across rank orders mean item diverse For 7,380 children 13 societies, also obtained parent. In all Total Problems derived parent significantly higher than ratings, although...
Abstract The aim of this study was to advance understanding how clients construct their own process change in effective therapy sessions. Toward end, the authors applied a narrative methodological tool for emotion-focused (EFT), replicating previous done with (NT). Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS) three good-outcome and poor-outcome cases EFT depression track innovative moments (IMs), or exceptions problematic self-narrative, therapeutic conversation. IMCS allows tracking five types...
Previous studies have used the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS) to describe process of change in Narrative Therapy (NT) and Emotion-Focused (EFT). This study aims extend this research program a sample Client-Centered (CCT). The IMCS was applied six cases CCT for depression track (IMs) which are exceptions problematic self-narrative therapeutic conversation. Results suggest that can be CCT, allowing tracking IMs' emergence. analysis based on generalized linear model revealed overall...
Narrative and dialogical perspectives suggest that personal meaning systems' flexibility is an important resource for change in psychotherapy. Drawn from these theoretical backgrounds, a research program focused on the identification of Innovative Moments (IMs)-exceptions to inflexible systems present psychopathological suffering-has been carried out. For this purpose, three process-oriented coding were developed: The IMs Coding System, Ambivalence Resolution System. They allow,...
Abstract This article presents an intensive analysis of a good-outcome case emotion-focused therapy—the Lisa—using the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS). IMCS, influenced by narrative therapy, conceptualizes change as resulting from elaboration and expansion exceptions or unique outcomes to client's core problematic self-narrative. IMCS identifies tracks occurrence five different types change: action, reflection, protest, reconceptualization, performing change. is first attempt use...
According to the author's narrative model of change, clients may maintain a problematic self-stability across therapy, leading therapeutic failure, by mutual in-feeding process, which involves cyclical movement between two opposing parts self. During innovative moments (IMs) in therapy dialogue, clients' dominant self-narrative is interrupted exceptions that self-narrative, but subsequently returns. The authors identified return-to-the-problem markers (RPMs), are empirical indicators...
This article presents an intensive analysis of a good outcome case constructivist grief therapy with bereaved mother, using the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS). Inspired by M. White and D. Epston's narrative therapy, IMCS conceptualizes therapeutic change as resulting from elaboration expansion unique outcomes (or we prefer, innovative moments), referring to experiences not predicted problematic or dominant self-narrative. The identifies tracks occurrence 5 different types moments:...
Objectives: We understand ambivalence as a cyclical movement between two opposing parts of the self. The emergence novel part produces an innovative moment, challenging current maladaptive self-narrative. However, is subsequently attenuated by return to This study focused on analysis therapeutic collaboration in episodes which relatively poor-outcome client narrative therapy expressed ambivalence. Method: For our we used Therapeutic Collaboration Coding System, developed assess whether and...
Innovative moments (IMs) are in the therapeutic dialog that constitute exceptions toward client's problems. These narrative markers of meaning transformation associated with change different models therapy and diverse diagnoses. Our goal is to test if IMs precede symptoms change, or, on contrary, a mere consequence symptomatic 15 change.For this purpose, symptomatology (Outcome Questionnaire-10.2) were assessed at every session sample 10 cases for depression. Hierarchical linear modeling was...
