作者在《记忆》特刊中对精神病理学中的心理意象和记忆的论文进行了概述。这些论文讨论了一系列心理疾病中的情绪性、侵入性心理意象,包括创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)、广场恐惧症、身体变形障碍、情绪障碍和精神病。它们包括关于信息处理问题的工作,包括对渴望、调节和厌恶建模,以及生动性和情感性等图像质量。概述的目的是将这些文章置于更广泛的背景下,并得出这部小说的一些令人兴奋的含义。它从认知行为疗法(CBT)的角度为该领域最近的发展提供了临床背景。我们从创伤后应激障碍开始,并考虑与其他疾病的意象的联系。讨论了这项实证工作和自传体记忆理论的临床意义。其中包括考虑各种技术来消除麻烦的图像,并创造健康、现实的替代方案。
The authors provide an overview of the papers in the special issue of Memory on mental imagery and memory in psychopathology. The papers address emotional, intrusive mental imagery across a range of psychological disorders including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), agoraphobia, body dysmorphic disorder, mood disorders, and psychosis. They include work on information processing issues including modelling cravings, conditioning, and aversions, as well as imagery qualities such as vividness and emotionality.The overview aims to place the articles in a broader context and draw out some exciting implications of this novel work. It provides a clinical context to the recent growth in this area from a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) perspective. We begin with PTSD, and consider links to imagery in other disorders. The clinical implications stemming from this empirical work and from autobiographical memory theory are discussed. These include consideration of a variety of techniques for eliminating troublesome imagery, and creating healthy, realistic alternatives.
