Research: The effect of repeated imagery on memory
Arbuthnott, K. (2005) The effect of repeated imagery on memory, Applied Cognitive Psychology. Vol 19(7)
Imagery is a powerful psychotherapeutic technique, but one that is potentially risky as individuals can mistake an imagined experience for an autobiographical one. Two experiments examined whether repeatedly imagining the same scenario influences the likelihood of such errors. Repetition increased the similarity between phenomenological ratings of imagery and autobiographical memory: After three repetitions, imagery ratings were equal to those for memories. However, repetition also increased recognition and source accuracy for both autobiographical memories and imagery, indicating that repetition may have contrasting effects when one is using heuristic versus systematic source monitoring processes. These results suggest that psychotherapists should not repeat imagery scenarios for legally-relevant issues, unless systematic source judgment processes can be assured, to protect clients from potential memory errors associated with therapeutic imagery.
Motivation: miracles
In order to be a realist you must believe in miracles.
-
Doesn’t this sum up our work nicely? Realistic and sometimes miraculous at the same time! What a wonderful job we do!
Therapeutic Work: perfectionism
Perfection is the dream: the fight to get there is the reality.
-Ferrari mechanic’s motto
Often clients will have a perfectionist streak that may be interfering with their chances of successfully resolving their issues. If you can help them to see that perfection IS something to be aimed for, while always recognising the impossibility of achieving it, you can help them move forward
