“…In the study, we made use of the DAPP (Basseches & Mascolo, ) to clarify, on a moment‐by‐moment basis, what happened specifically in the therapeutic process that might help to explain the phase gains observed (see also Ferreira et al, ; Ferreira, Vasco et al, —for information on the previous studies where we integrated PCM and DAPP).…”

“…To clarify how therapists and patients coconstruct syntheses and move forward along the process, the DAPP suggests that we look at what therapeutic resources are being used and ask three questions: (a) what resources is the therapist offering the patient; (b) how is the patient receiving and using these resources; and (c) how is the therapist responding to the way the patient is receiving and using these resources and is the therapist able to adapt his/her offerings to the patient's capacity to use them (Basseches & Mascolo, ; Ferreira, Basseches et al, ).…”

“…Basseches and Mascolo () suggest three broad types of therapeutic resources: Attentional Support , where therapists assist patients to focus their attention on their own actions, experiences, and reflections; Interpretation , where therapists offer their point of view to the patients as antitheses to the patients' own understanding; and Enactment , where therapists evoke, direct, or promote new actions, experiences, and competencies on the part of patients.…”

This study adds a phase-by-phase perspective to the case of Susan, with the aim of better understanding the processes of change in this therapeutic case. A team of 3 raters integrated the sequential phases of the Paradigmatic Complementarity Metamodel with a moment-by-moment tracking method-the Developmental Analysis of Psychotherapy Process method-to analyse this therapeutic process and clarify what happened throughout that may explain phase gains and how the therapist facilitated them. The results suggest that Susan evolved in accordance with the sequence of phases proposed by the Paradigmatic Complementarity Metamodel. We illustrate and explain this with therapeutic interactions representative of Susan's development within the evolving therapeutic process. This case study is the third of a series intended to contribute towards the optimization of clinical decisions in therapeutic processes by identifying markers of phase progression and assessing the value of the therapeutic interventions offered.

“…This qualitative shift, as well as the fractal nature of the stage transition, is also reflected in the MHC's axioms that state that more than one element from a previous stage needs to be coordinated in a non-arbitrary way to create an element at a higher stage, which holds for all stage transitions. This movement of first a differentiation and identification from one to several elements or lines of thought at one stage, then an integration into a coherent whole at the next stage is a common description of developmental processes described in, for example, the adult development field of research (Basseches and Mascolo 2010).…”

“…To distinguish developmental movement within the therapeutic process from blockage of such movement, the DAPP examines (a) what resources the therapist offers the patient, (b) how the patient receives and uses these resources, and (c) how the therapist responds in the moment regarding the patient's use of resources, that is, to say, is the therapist able to adapt resources to the patient's capacity to use them? (Basseches & Mascolo, ; Ferreira, Basseches, et al, ).…”

This study adds a phase-by-phase perspective to the well-known, and thoroughly analysed on a moment-by-moment basis, case of Lisa. The aim is to see whether this phase-by-phase analysis adds anything valuable to the understanding of the processes of change in this case and the therapeutic processes in general. In this good-outcome case study, a team of raters integrated the temporal sequencing phase component of the Paradigmatic Complementarity Metamodel (PCM) with a moment-by-moment tracking method-the Developmental Analysis of Psychotherapy Process Method (DAPP)-to analyse what occurred along the process that could explain the phase transitions and consolidations observed and how the therapist facilitated them. We illustrate and explain the therapeutic progression with therapeutic interactions from the dyad. The results suggest that Lisa evolved in accordance with the sequence of phases proposed by the PCM until phase 4 (out of 7). However, only phase 2 gains show evidence of structural consolidation. The sequence of phases proposed by the PCM seems to represent a natural progression for patients throughout the therapeutic process, and the consideration of a phase-by-phase map in analysing and thinking of therapeutic cases may be a valuable tool regarding clinical decision making.
