This study assessed response times and accuracy of motor imagery in waking and hypnotic states and to related responses to hypnotic experiences. The Vividness of Motor Imagery Questionnaire (VMIQ) was administered to 47 participants. A mental walking task was then performed in the waking state. In hypnosis, the same task was included within an imaginary journey after a hypnotic induction. An interaction effect showed for condition (waking vs. hypnotic) and distances. The further the participants had to walk in imagination, the longer they took. For all combinations, participants took significantly longer in hypnosis (p < .001) and were significantly less accurate in hypnosis in reproducing the difference between the different distances (p < .001). Results appear to show a relationship between motor imagery and hypnotic responding and support a state-trait conception of imagery.
ZusammenfassungDepressive Erkrankungen machen 36% aller psychiatrischen Störungen aus und münden in einem Drittel der Fälle in einen chronischen Verlauf, der schwierig zu therapieren ist. Einen Schlüssel zur Optimierung der Behandlung stellt die Veränderung der aufrechterhaltenen psychosozialen Faktoren durch spezifische Verhaltenstherapie dar. Das “Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy” – CBASP – nach James P. McCullough ist eine empirisch evaluierte Weiterentwicklung kognitiv-behavioraler und interpersoneller verhaltenstherapeutischer Strategien zur ambulanten Behandlung der chronischen Depression. Der Artikel fasst wichtige Informationen über die theoretische Basis, den entwicklungsbezogenen Einfluss von gelerntem und regelgeleitetem Verhalten auf die emotional kognitive Organisation, den interpersonellen Fokus der Therapie, die Behandlungsstrategien nach “Bottom-Up” und “TopDown” wirksamen Interventionen, die Behandlungsphasen und die wichtigsten Therapieziele zusammen.
