Abstract:
Guided imagery, rather than being a revolutionary complementary or alternative therapy, has been utilised for centuries to alleviate suffering and promote wellness. Its efficacy has been studied and documented in physical, psychological and spiritual dis-ease. This article reviews relevant literature supporting the premise that guided imagery is a strategy that can be used for improving therapeutic relationships and is an example of holistic health care.
