Description
Summary:"This book guides the practicing clinician or student therapist toward practical applications of imagery in a range of psychodynamic, cognitive, and behavioral therapies. Jerome L. Singer builds on the current status of research on consciousness, narrative thought, and the human capacity for imagery representations of memories, plans, and fantasies. He draws on his more than 50 years of empirical research and psychotherapy practice as well as his personal introspections to suggest how clinicians can expand their own conscious thought and use the gift of imagery to assist patients in varied clinical approaches. The book emphasizes the common features of psychotherapies and seeks to demonstrate how clinical practice can be based on fundamental psychological research in cognition, emotion, and interpersonal transactions using imagery as a focal area"--Book.
