Description
Imagery in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy explores how mental images can trigger distress and drive maladaptive behavior. Leading researcher-clinician Lusia Stopa presents specific techniques for working with multisensory imagery in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), including imaginal exposure, reliving, rescripting, and using positive imagery to improve well-being.
The book includes extensive sample dialogues and a chapter-length case example demonstrating the techniques in action with clients experiencing a range of psychological problems. By assessing and exploring mental images, therapists can help their clients recognize and address distressing patterns.
