Abstract
This article presents an intensive analysis of a good-outcome case of emotion-focused therapy—the case of Lisa—using the Innovative Moments Coding System (IMCS). IMCS, influenced by narrative therapy, conceptualizes narrative change as resulting from the elaboration and expansion of narrative exceptions or unique outcomes to a client's core problematic self-narrative. IMCS identifies and tracks the occurrence of five different types of narrative change: action, reflection, protest, reconceptualization, and performing change. This is the first attempt to use the IMCS with cases outside the narrative tradition. We discuss the results, emphasizing the commonalities and major differences between this case and other good-outcome cases.
