商品簡介
These 22 contributions extol the increasingly recognized as legitimate therapeutic uses of mental imagery. Sheikh (psychology, Marquette U.; psychiatry and behavioral medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin) contributes to introductory chapters on healing images viewed historically and physiologically. Other theoretical/ research-oriented papers discuss issues of how images can heal, a model linking imagery with right brain stimulation and stress reduction, an "info-energy" model integrating conventional and complementary medicine for understanding imagery's role, and approaches mixing music with imagery. Clinical applications such as treating pain and guiding spiritual growth are also addressed. The book includes a foreword by the Dalai Lama. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
