This study aims to further the understanding of how innovative moments (IMs), which are exceptions to a client's problematic self-narrative in the therapy dialogue, progress to the construction of a new self-narrative, leading to successful psychotherapy. The authors' research strategy involved tracking IMs, and the themes expressed therein (or protonarratives), and analysing the dynamic relati...

According to the narrative approach, change in self-narratives is an important part of successful psychotherapy. In this view, several authors have highlighted the usefulness of narrating new experiences (like actions, thoughts, and stories) during therapy in contrast with maladaptive client self-narratives. These new experiences are termed here innovative moments (IMs), and different types can...

The Assimilation of Problematic Experiences Scale (APES) and the Innovative Moments Coding System were applied to transcripts of a successful case of linguistic therapy of evaluation independently by different research groups. Assimilation theory and research suggest that higher APES scores reflect therapeutic gains, with a level of approximately 4.0 separating good from poor outcome cases. The...

According to the author's narrative model of change, clients may maintain a problematic self-stability across therapy, leading to therapeutic failure, by a mutual in-feeding process, which involves a cyclical movement between two opposing parts of the self. During innovative moments (IMs) in the therapy dialogue, clients' dominant self-narrative is interrupted by exceptions to that self-narrati...

This study is about outlier detection in time series data. The main objective is to derive and to test statistics for detecting additive outlier (AO) and innovative outlier (IO) in GARCH(1,1) processes and subsequently to develop a procedure for testing the presence of outliers using the statistics. A test statistic has been derived for each type of outlier. In the derivation of the statistics,...

eco-innovation is an actual topic as it links two key issues, innovation and sustainability. theenvironmental respect and innovation are important drivers of competitiveness. firms are willing to knowwhat to do to improve their eco-innovative capacity. the objective of this paper is to empirically determinewhat common characteristics have the most environmental oriented innovative firms. we ana...

The presence of outliers in time series can seriously affect the model specification and parameter estimation. To avoid these adverse effects, it is essential to detect these outliers and remove them from time series. By the Bayesian statistical theory, this article proposes a method for simultaneously detecting the additive outlier (AO) and innovative outlier (IO) in an autoregressive moving-a...
