In this study we analyze and describe changes in parent’s narrative that attend to the parenting program “Incredible Years - Basic”. The instrument used for the assessment of change through the program sessions was the Grid Therapeutic Process Analysis – GAPT (Sequeira, 2003). The 5 GAPT dimensions correspond to axes considered important in the narrative organization and respective transformation in therapeutic context. 10 sessions of the parenting program were transcribed, using the Panel of Experts ‘methodology, taking into account the 4 parental subsystems participating in the therapeutic group. It was found that singularities and the narrative reflection have occurred, in large number, since the start of the intervention, tended gradually to promote diversity and flexibility in narrative. The change was visible in interactions, in the way the story is narrated, in its connotation and central themes. In short, the singularity amplification enables consistent reorganization and reconceptualization resulting in more complex, significant, and coherent narratives and experiences about the problems presented by parents.
