Resumo: Objective: Ambivalence can be understood as a cyclical movement between an emerging narrative novelty—an Innovative Moment (IM)—and a return to a problematically dominant self-narrative. The return implies that the IM, with its potential for change is devalued right after its emergence. Our goal is to test the hypothesis that the probability of the client expressing such form of ambivalence decreases across treatment in good-outcome cases but not in poor-outcome cases. Method: Return-to-the-Problem Markers (RPMs) signaling moments of devaluation of IMs were coded in passages containing IMs in six clients with major depression treated with emotion-focused therapy: three good-outcome cases and three poor-outcome cases. Results: The percentage of IMs with RPMs decreased across therapy in good-outcome cases, whereas it remained unchanged and high in the poor-outcome cases. Conclusions: These results were consistent with the theoretical suggestion that therapeutic failure may be associated with this form of ambivalence.

Il ritorno implica che il IM perde il proprio potenziale di favorire un cambiamento nel momento in cui emerge. Il nostro obiettivo è quello di verificare l'ipotesi che la probabilità che il paziente possa esprimere tale forma di ambivalenza diminuisce nel corso di un trattamento che ha un buon esito, ma non nei casi con esito negativo. Metodo: in sei pazienti affetti da depressione maggiore trattati con terapia focalizzata sulle emozioni, sono stati codificati i passaggi contenenti IM utilizzando il Return-to-the-Problem Markers (RPMs) che segnala i passaggi in cui IM vengono svalutati: tre casi con buon esito e tre con esito negativo. Risultati: La percentuale di IM con gli RPM diminuiva nel corso delle terapie dei casi con buon esito, mentre è rimasto invariato ed elevato nei casi con scarso esito. Conclusioni: Questi risultati sono coerenti con il presupposto teorico che il fallimento terapeutico possa essere associato a questa forma di ambivalenza.Objetivo: A ambivalência pode ser entendida como um movimento cíclico entre uma novidade narrativa emergente – um Momento de Inovação (MI) – e um retorno à narrativa problemática dominante. O retorno implica que o MI, com o seu potencial para a mudança, seja desvalorizado logo após a sua emergência. O nosso objetivo é testar a hipótese de que a probabilidade do cliente expressar tal forma de ambivalência diminui ao longo do tratamento em casos de sucesso mas não em casos de insucesso terapêutico. Método: Marcadores de Retorno ao Problema (MRP) que assinalam momentos de desvalorização dos MIs foram codificados em passagens contendo MIs em seis casos de clientes com depressão major tratados com terapia focada nas emoções: três casos de sucesso e três casos de insucesso. Conclusões: Estes resultados foram consistentes com as sugestões teóricas de que o insucesso terapêutico poderá estar associado a esta forma de ambivalência.Ziel: Ambivalenz kann als zyklische Bewegung zwischen einer emergenten narrativen Neuheit – einem Innovative Moment (IM) – und einer Rückkehr zu einer problematischen dominanten Selbst-Erzählung verstanden werden. Diese Rückkehr impliziert, dass der IM mit seinem Potential für Veränderung direkt nach seinem Auftauchen abgewertet wird. Unser Ziel ist die Hypothese zu testen, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass der Klient eine solche Form der Ambivalenz zeigt, bei Fällen mit gutem Therapieergebnis über die Behandlung abnimmt, aber nicht in Fällen mit schlechtem Ergebnis. Methode: Rückkehr-zu-dem-Problem Marker (RPMs), die Momente signalisieren, in denen IMs abgewertet werden, wurden in Passagen, die IMs beinhalten, von sechs Klienten mit Major Depression, die mit emotionsfokussierter Therapie behandelt wurden, kodiert: 3 Fälle mit gutem und 3 Fälle mit schlechtem Therapieergebnis. Ergebnisse: Der Prozentsatz von IMs mit RPMs verringerte sich bei Fällen mit gutem Ergebnis über die Therapie hinweg, wohingegen er in den Fällen mit schlechtem Ergebnis unverändert und hoch blieb. Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse waren mit dem theoretischen Vorschlag konsistent, dass therapeutischer Misserfolg mit dieser Form der Ambivalenz assoziiert ist.目標:矛盾可以視為是種擺盪在新產生的新穎敘說—創意時刻(IM)—和回復到一種有問題的支配性自我敘說之間的循環動作。回復意味著潛藏改變契機的IM,其價值在出現後即被摒棄。我們的目標是檢視以下假設的可能性:「在具良好成效的案例中,案主在治療歷程中表達這種形式的矛盾會降低;而在不良成效的案例中則否」。方法:在六位具有嚴重憂鬱症患者的IM段落中,找到顯示IM價值降低時刻的故態復萌標記(RPMs)並加以編碼。這六位患者均接受情緒焦點治療,其中三位為具良好成效案例,另外三位為不良成效案例。結果:在具良好成效案例中,IM當中具有RPM的比率降低;而在不良成效的案例中,RPM的比率維持不變或更高。結論:此結果與理論假設一致,即假設治療的失敗可能與這種形式的矛盾有關。Taylor and FrancisUniversidade do MinhoRibeiro, António P.Mendes, InêsStiles, W.
