    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.

    Three narrative-based coding systems: Innovative moments, ambivalence and ambivalence resolution
    2017-01 - Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Ribeiro, António P.; Mendes, Inês; Alves, Daniela; Rosa, Catarina; Silva, Joana Ribeiro da
    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 the inflexible meaning systems present in psychopathological suffering—has been carried out. For this purpose, three process-oriented coding systems were developed: The IMs Coding System, the Ambivalence Coding System, and the Ambivalence Resolution Coding System. They allow, respectively, for the study of change, ambivalence, and ambivalence resolution in therapy. This paper presents these coding systems, the main findings that resulted from their application to different samples and therapeutic models, the main current and future lines of research, as well as the clinical applications of this research program.
