Fluctuation in the Assimilation of Problematic Experiences: A Case Study of Dyn...

Dynamic systems theory suggests that instability can be a key element in the promotion of human change processes. Several studies have confirmed an association between unstable patterns and successful psychotherapeutic outcome. Somewhat similarly, the assimilation model of psychotherapeutic change argues that clinical change occurs through the integration of problematic experiences that initially threaten the s...

Fractional Order Image Processing of Medical Images

To perform a robot-assisted surgery of a prosthesis implantation on a patient’s femur, we may need to get the femoral head-neck orientation for the application. We can extract that information from Computed Tomography scans, using image processing. In image processing, edge detection often makes use of integer-order differentiation operators (e.g. Canny and LoG operators). This paper shows that introducing non-...

Client's immersed and distanced speech and therapist's interventions in emotion...

Previous laboratory studies have explored the importance of participants adopting an immersed or distanced perspective in the analysis of their experiences. These studies concluded that distancing allows analyzing emotions in a healthier way and immersion leads to higher vulnerability. However, in psychotherapy, the relationship between these perspectives and clinical change has been less investigated. The pres...

The narrative model of therapeutic change: an exploratory study tracking innova...

Despite the popularity of narrative approaches to the change in psychotherapy, a better understanding of how narrative transformation facilitates therapeutic change is needed. Research on innovative moments (IMs) has explored how IMs in psychotherapy evolve over time. We expand on past studies by exploring how IMs become aggregated in narrative threads, termed protonarratives, which come to constitute an altern...

Systematic studies of the efficacy of Narrative Therapy (NT) for depression are sparse.

Background: Systematic studies of the efficacy of Narrative Therapy (NT) for depression are sparse. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of individual NT for moderate depression in adults compared to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Method: Sixty-three depressed clients were assigned to either NT or CBT. The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and Outcome Questionnaire-45.2 (OQ-45.2) were used as outcome me...
