The meaning in loss protocol: A clinical trial of online grief therapy
Batista, João; Alves, Daniela; Pires, Nuno; Silva, Joana Ribeiro da; Mendes, Inês; Magalhães, Carina; Rosa, Catarina; Oliveira, João TiagoFor a minority of the bereaved, the loss of a significant other can trigger an overwhelming emotional reaction and impaired functioning across life domains, known as prolonged grief disorder (PGD). Hence, ongoing efforts have been made to refine existing treatments to increase their efficacy and to accommodate the idiosyncrasies of grief reactions. This study presents the results of an open clinical trial of th...

Studying psychotherapy change in narrative terms: The innovative moments method
Batista, João; Magalhães, Carina; Ferreira, Helena; Fernández-Navarro, Pablo; Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Silva, Joana Ribeiro daThis 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 st...
Reviewing working memory training gains in healthy older adults: A meta-analyti...
Teixeira-Santos, Ana C.; Moreira, Célia S.; Magalhães, Rosana; Magalhães, Carina; Pereira, Diana R.; Leite, Jorge; Carvalho, Sandra; Sampaio, AdrianaThe objective of this meta-analytic review was to systematically assess the effects of working memory training on healthy older adults. We identified 552 entries, of which 27 experiments met our inclusion criteria. The final database included 1130 participants. Near- and far-transfer effects were analysed with measures of short-term memory, working memory, and reasoning. Small significant and long-lasting trans...
Relational schemas as mediators of innovative moments in symptom improvement in...
Batista, João; Silva, Joana; Freitas, Sara; Alves, Daniela; Machado, Anabela; Sousa, Inês; Fernández-Navarro, Pablo; Magalhães, CarinaObjectives: 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 ...

Innovation and ambivalence: a narrative-dialogical perspective on therapeutic c...
Gonçalves, Miguel M.; Ribeiro, António P.; Rosa, Catarina; Braga, Cátia; Magalhães, Carina; Oliveira, João Tiago; Silva, Joana Ribeiro daChange is indisputably one of the main goals of psychotherapeutic work. From a dialogical perspective, psychotherapeutic change entails a transformation in the transactional and communicative relationships established in the client’s “inner society of I-positions”. In the present chapter, we summarize the main findings of our narrative-dialogical research program on the processes of change in psychotherapy, pri...

Navarro, Pablo Fernandez; Rosa, catarina; Sousa, Inês; Moutinho, Vanessa Andrade Barbosa; Antunes, Ana; Magalhães, Carina; Ribeiro, António P.Objectives: In previous studies, reconceptualization innovative moments were associated with successful psychotherapy. Reconceptualization has two components-(a) a positive temporal contrast between the past self and the present self (contrasting self [CS]) and (b) a description of how and/or why this change has occurred (change process [CP])-from the perspective of the client. The aim of this study is to analy...
