Guided Imagery: Creative Interventions in Counselling and Psychotherapy

Eric Hall,Carol Hall,Pamela Stradling,Diane Young

‘The aim of this clear and engaging book is to facilitate counsellors and clients in working creatively and ethically with client-generated imagery. From an integrative perspective, I expect this text to prove an invaluable guide to this most creative of techniques in the repertoire of interventions for both the trainee and the experienced counsellor’ - Therapy Today ‘Hall et al bring many years of practice and academic experience to their material. The book is accessible in its style and makes extensive use of interesting case histories’ - Eisteach (Journal for the Irish Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) ‘fascinating scenarios!. a useful book to have - I have really enjoyed reading it’ - International Arts Therapies Journal (Online) Guided Imagery is a unique, practical guide to using imagery in one-to-one therapeutic work with clients. Through numerous examples drawn from their own experience, the authors show how the techniques involved can be integrated into everyday practice. The authors describe the different processes of using guided imagery and working from a script and show how drawing can be used to augment imagery work.In addition to planned strategies for using imagery, they also show how images which arise spontaneously during sessions can be harnessed and used to enhance the therapeutic process. The practical strategies and techniques outlined in the book are examined in the context of a variety of theoretical frameworks (the person-centred approach, gestalt, existentialism and psychosynthesis) and research findings. Potential pitfalls and ethical considerations are also explored, making Guided Imagery a useful resource for practitioners and an ideal text for use on counselling and psychotherapy training courses.
