ABSTRACT
This chapter contains (with commentary) an extensive transcript of a clinical demonstration. Guided imagery for psychotherapy was used and incorporated the client’s own experiences and life. Also incorporated was the concept of As-If behavior with the client immersed in (and living through) her own imagery. This clinical demonstration also illustrated the use of “ secret therapy.” That is, working with a client when you only have minimal information about what it is that troubles them. The “Yenta Syndrome” is discussed, and it refers to a woman who is a gossip or a busybody. Therapists are cautioned to not be “Yentas.”
