Guided Affective Imagery

Guided Affective Imagery

Guided Affective Imagery (GAI) is a legally recognised psychotherapy method. In this method, the imagination plays an important role together with discussions with the client. It was developed by German psychiatrist Hanscarl Leuner, based on his research in guided mental imagery, "catathymic influences" (the interaction of mental contents and emotional processes), dreams and daydreams.

Guided Affective Imagery is also known as Katathym Imaginative Psychotherapy, or KIP.
