    Studying psychotherapy change in narrative terms: The innovative moments method
    2020-07-27 - Batista, João; Magalhães, Carina; Ferreira, Helena; Fernández-Navarro, Pablo; Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Silva, Joana Ribeiro da
    This paper aims to describe the Innovative Moments (IM) Coding System (IMCS), an idiographic and transtheoretical methodology that allows the identification of IMs—markers of changes in the client's initial maladaptive framework of meaning—throughout psychotherapy. The present study introduces the theoretical background underlying this methodology, along with the main empirical findings resulting from former studies that have applied this tool to clinical data. The IMCS application is also detailed: the coding phases, the training steps and inter-rater agreement measures. In order to illustrate the application of IM coding, a case study is presented. Although a partial coding was used, the results are in line with previous research. Discussion is centred on the usefulness of the IMCS for the advance of process research in psychotherapy, and the potential use of this methodology in group format.

    Tracking narrative change in the context of extremism and terrorism: Adapting the Innovative Moments Coding System
    2019-07 - Silva, Raquel da; Fernández-Navarro, Pablo; Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Rosa, Catarina; Silva, Joana Ribeiro da
    Existing models of deradicalisation, countering violent extremism (CVE), and counter-terrorism (CT) have lacked a clear theory of change, as well as robust empirical methodologies. This paper proposes an empirically-based systematic and transparent methodology – the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS) – which is empirically sensitive, ethically defensible, and can be of use in the context of research to inform practitioner contexts. Through a case study of former violent militants, we explore the adaptation and usage of this instrument to identify and track self-narrative change in the processes of engagement and disengagement, as well as radicalisation and deradicalisation in the context of violent extremism and terrorism. We illustrate how this methodology has the potential to bring benefits to the work of researchers involved in producing guidelines for disengagement, deradicalisation or risk-reduction interventions.

    Understanding Extreme Violent Behavior in Ultra Firms: Exploring Identity Fusion from a Dialogical Perspective
    2020-03-02 - Silva, R. da; Fernández-Navarro, Pablo; Rosa, C.; Gonçalves, M. M.; Silva, Joana Ribeiro da
    This paper explores a dialogical operationalization of identity fusion in the context of football firms. An in-depth life story interview with a longstanding member of a football firm involved in several violent episodes was qualitatively analyzed. The variety of positions of the self (I-positions) as well as the dialogical relations established by such positions were examined under themes associated with identity fusion, in an attempt to understand pro-group radical violent behavior. Results suggest that a core coalition of internal I-positions and external We-positions favoring extreme ultra violence appeared to dominate the participant’s self-system. This coalition seemed to have soft boundaries among the positions compounding it and, at the same time, rigid boundaries with other positions of the self-system, operating as an I-prison, preventing alternative counter-violence voices to be heard and promoter or meta-positions to emerge. Considering that functionally equivalent forms of identity fusion have been identified in radical football violence and terrorism, this knowledge can contribute to tackle the pathways for engaging in extreme violence in favor of a group/organization. Moreover, it can be used to develop more effective programs to promote individuals’ de-fusion from different groups, whenever group adherence proves dysfunctional and risky for themselves and/or others.

    Relational schemas as mediators of innovative moments in symptom improvement in major depression
    2017-08-05 - Batista, João; Freitas, Sara; Alves, Daniela; Machado, Anabela; Sousa, Inês; Fernández-Navarro, Pablo; Magalhães, Carina; Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Silva, Joana Ribeiro da
    Objectives: Innovative moments (IMs) are exceptions to the maladaptive framework of meaning that typically motivates clients to seek psychotherapy, and previous studies have shown that IMs are associated with psychotherapy outcomes. While IMs are exceptions that occur at the level of the therapeutic conversation, relational schemas are more stable patterns, and their increased flexibility may facilitate change during psychotherapy. With this in mind, we tested the hypothesis that IMs contribute to outcomes by improving the flexibility of relational schemas. Method: The Core Conflictual Relationship Theme (CCRT) was used to assess relational schemas. IMs were evaluated using the Innovative Moments Coding System. The sample included 22 clients diagnosed with major depressive disorder. The flexibility of the three components of the CCRT (Wishes, responses of the self (RS), and responses of others (RO)) were tested as mediators between IMs and outcomes. Results: The flexibility of the RS was a mediator between IMs and outcomes, but Wishes and RO were not. Conclusion: These findings align with previous research showing that RS is the component most open to change, whereas the other components seem less sensitive to change during brief therapy.

    What Can Therapists Learn from Coding Therapy Sessions? Interviewing Clinicians to Explore the Case of Innovative Moments Training
    2023-09-01 - Fernández-Navarro, Pablo; Batista, João; Silva, Joana Ribeiro da
    Innovative Moment Coding System (IMCS) has influenced their clinical practice. Participants, that worked both as researchers and therapists, were interviewed using a semi-structured script written for the current study. The interviews explored whether or not coding psychotherapy sessions (participants’ research experience with innovative moments; IMs) had impacted their clinical practice. A descriptive–interpretative qualitative approach was used to analyze the video recordings of the interviews. Four themes identified the effects of coding therapy sessions with IMs in therapists’ clinical practice: (1) increasing attention to clients’ change instances, (2) noticing clients’ development, (3) implementing strategies inspired by the IM model, and (4) identifying hindering situations. Results suggested that coding therapy sessions appears to bring benefits to practice, regardless of the participant’s theoretical orientation. We discuss how coding sessions may bring subtle but valuable additions to therapists’ everyday practice offering better attunement to clients’ micro-processes of change. In particular, IMCS categorization of such processes could present a useful form of feedback for therapist’s interventions or deliberate practice, further developing therapists’ sensitivity to the interplay between change and problem narratives (called double listening).

    Disengagement from political violence and deradicalization: A narrative-dialogical
    2018-03-15 - Silva, Raquel da; Fernández-Navarro, Pablo; Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Rosa, Catarina; Silva, Joana Ribeiro da
    This article applies a dialogical analysis to the change processes involved in moving from engagement with to disengagement from an armed militant group, as well as from radicalization to deradicalization. The findings underline the interplay between different push and pull factors at individual, organizational, and societal levels that played a role in the already mentioned processes in three periods of time—engagement with, life within, and disengagement from an armed organization. The dialogical framework conceptualizes the development trajectory as relationships between a variety of positions of the self (I-positions), which generate different personal meanings involved in processes of disengagement and deradicalization.
