Guided Imagery

A psycho-corporeal therapy with imaginative mediation, guided imagery rests on the active, intentional and multisensory production of inner images, supported by a voice. First developed in oncology, it aims at the reduction of anticipatory anxiety, nausea and pain, as well as an overall neurovegetative rebalancing.

This therapy is covered in detail (principles, indications, protocol, level of evidence) in Volume 5 of the Mémento des Psychothérapies. See the volume.
