Synopsis

Imagery rescripting (IR) is a therapeutic technique that allows problematic events to be retrieved from memory and modified in positive directions. Imagery Rescripting: Theory and Practice<\/i> is a complete manual for practitioners that offers a clear and well\-organized introduction to how imagery rescripting can be applied – both as a standalone intervention and as part of a wider therapeutic plan – in the treatment of personality disorders and other problems. \n

\nThe book explores the various ways in which the technique can be applied – how imagery exercises can provide insight into present problems via events of the past, how the therapist can rescript images in the early stages of treatment, and how clients can learn to rescript themselves as therapy progresses. The use of IR to prepare clients for future trigger situations is also discussed. Each step is illustrated with clinical examples, and common pitfalls are considered – including clients who cannot create images, clients with a critical attitude, and clients who struggle with feelings of guilt.
