The study on the curative process in imagery psychotherapy from the viewpoint of psychopathological level.

意象治疗的主要疗效机制之一是意象体验方式的改变，因此，控制体验距离可以成为一种重要的治疗手段。这种“意象体验方式的转变”的过程，笔者从自身的体验出发，探讨了“意象体验方式”转变的后续过程。（1）意象排斥，（2）束缚意象，（3）意象观察，（4）意象对抗，（5）意象体验，（6）意象思考，（7）意象接受。在这种情况下，被诊断为边缘或精神分裂症的病人，某种保护病人不直接暴露于他的体验的“安全装置”也是必要的。这种成像的“tsuboes”具有安全装置或胶囊的功能，可以保护患者免受直接暴露在强烈的危急体验中。

One of the chief curative mechanism in imagery therapy is this change of the mode of image experiencing) and, therefore, the control of experiential distance can be an important therapeutic manipulation. the process of such a "shift in the mode of image experiencing" From my experience, I discussed the following process of the changes in the "modeofimage experiencing".(1)Image rejection, (2)Bound images (3)Imageobservation (4)Image confrontation (5)Image experience (6)Imageconsideration (7)Image acceptance.In the case, of the patients diagnosed as borderline or schizophrenic, some kind of "safety device" that protects the patient, from directly being exposed to his experience is also necessary. The imaged "tsuboes" have the funcion of a safety device or capsule which protects the patient from beingdirectly exposed to his intense critical expeidences.
