“…Two studies support the convergent validity of IMCS, one that compared the IMCS with the assimilation of problematic experiences (APES; Stiles et al, 1990;Stiles, 2002) and another that compared the IMCS with the Generic Change Indicators (Krause et al, 2007). In the first study Pinheiro, Gonçalves and Caro-Gabalda (2009) compared the coding done with APES with the coding from IMCS in one case of Linguistic Therapy of Evaluation (Caro, 1996). The coding with IMCS was done without any knowledge of the previous coding with APES.…”

This article presents a method for the assessment of innovative moments, which are novelties that emerge in contrast to a client's problematic self-narrative as expressed in therapy, the innovative moments coding system (IMCS). The authors discuss the theoretical background of the IMCS as well as its coding procedures. Results from several studies suggest that the IMCS is a reliable and valid coding system that can be applied to several modalities of psychotherapy. Finally, future research implications are discussed.

This paper reports a qualitative micro-analysis of the assimilation process in 18 events drawn from six patients treated in the linguistic therapy of evaluation. Each event began with a problematic situation introduced by the patient and ended with a marker showing either non-resolution or resolution of the problematic situation. These events all represented a common therapeutic task: The orders of abstraction technique, one of the main techniques of the linguistic therapy of evaluation.The non-resolved and resolved events tended to represent different levels on the Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES). The non-resolved events tended to be associated with low APES levels, whereas the resolved events tended to include higher APES levels. The process of assimilation showed a sawtoothed pattern characteristic of directive therapies. To illustrate the process of assimilation, qualitative data-passages, excerpted from one patient, Silvia-are shown. The results are discussed in terms of the assimilation model and the balance metaphor.

“…This is a new cognitive therapy, based on the general semantic theory and on a model linking emotional problems to the use of language. Linguistic evaluation therapy presents notable differences regarding constructivist and rational-cognitive therapies (e.g., Beck's cognitive therapy), and there are data about its efficacy in anxiety and depression problems (Caro, 1996;Caro, 1997).…”

The aim of this study is to analyze Spanish research published between 1989 and 1998 in clinical psychology and its most directly related psychological disciplines: personality psychology, psychopathology, differential psychology, health psychology, and psychological assessment. A search was performed in the various databases of the works published in that decade by Spanish university professors who investigate in these areas. Their localization was verified by direct correspondence with the professors, to whom was also sent a questionnaire to evaluate their research field and preferred theoretical approach. The 2,079 works located allowed me to identify 85 different research trends. These research trends are characterized by the predominance of applied studies over basic studies, of empirical research over theoretical research, and of the cognitive-behavioral approach over the rest of the theoretical orientations. In addition, various bibliometrical indicators of production, dissemination, and impact were calculated. They revealed that productivity and dissemination of Spanish research in these areas grew considerably during this 1989-98 period.El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la investigación española publicada durante 1989-1998 en psicología clínica y en las disciplinas psicológicas más directamente relacionadas: psicología de la personalidad, psicopatología, psicología diferencial, psicología de la salud y evaluación psicológica. Se buscó en distintas bases de datos los trabajos realizados en esa década por los profesores universitarios españoles que investigan en esas áreas, y su localización fue contrastada mediante correspondencia directa con los propios profesores a quienes, además, se envió un cuestionario para evaluar su campo de investigación y enfoque teórico preferentes. Los 2.079 trabajos localizados permitieron identificar 85 líneas de investigación diferentes. Estas líneas se caracterizan por el predominio de los estudios aplicados sobre los básicos, de la investigación empírica sobre la teórica, y del enfoque cognitivo-conductual sobre el resto de orientaciones teóricas. Se calcularon además diversos indicadores bibliométricos de producción, difusión y repercusión. Éstos revelaron que la productividad y difusión de la investigación española en esas áreas experimentó un importante crecimiento durante el período 1989-1998.
