“…Henderson has a sudden revelation of empathy with an African king and experiences great joy: “I was swayed, I thrilled when I hear this... My heart was moved to such an extent, that I felt my face stretch until it must have been as long as a city block. I was blazing with fever and mental excitement because of the loftiness of our conversation and I saw things not double or triple merely, but in countless outlines of wavering colon gold, red, green, umber, and so on, all flowing concentrically around each object” (Bellow, 1950, p. 215).…”

Having entered therapy with the complaint of the absence of feelings, the attorney was able, through guided affective imagery, to experience emotions, with complex richness and variety. The use of guided affective imagery emphasizes the point that the potential for growth lies basically within the patient, the therapeutic use of imagery builds upon the view that the dream or daydreams is not merely a wish-fulfillment, but a trial act, an attempt to deal with the dynamics and issues, a beginning of therapeutic action. His body image experience expresses the meanings he is living, his increasing awareness of a rich emotional Ufe, and the enlargement of his ego, his own personal growth.
