Guided Imagery and Music in Head Trauma Rehabilitation
Pickett, Eugenia - Volume: 5
Imagery, because it bypasses usual defense mechanisms and because it can be used to generate adaptive behavior, is useful for "working through" the losses which result from head trauma and to create new emotional, cognitive and behavioral patterns. Carefully selected music will promote this process. This author uses case material to demonstrate how The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music [GIM] can be used as a psychotherapy in head trauma recovery.
